Peterborough had a great start to the game, putting their offensive prowess on display on the road. They scored five goals in the first period thanks to Thomas Hoggarth, Joe Resetarits, Braedon Saris, Taite Cattoni and Justin Sykes. Brooklin only managed two goals and the Lakers had a 5-2 lead after the first period.

However, things came crashing down for Peterborough after that. Brooklin scored the first six of seven goals in the stanza to lead 8-6. The Lakers were able to two late special teams goals courtesy of Holden Cattoni and Resetarits to tie it at eight into the third period.

Despite Peterborough opening the scoring in the final frame — with a Holden Cattoni goal — Brooklin L.C. kept pouring on their offense, scoring seven unanswered goals. Peterborough failed to find the back of the net since then and the series was evened at two apiece after a 15-9 win for Brooklin.

“We just didn’t push back like we should have,” said Bobby Keast, Lakers’ defensive coach. “I think they got some bounces that they earned.”

Game five is at the Peterborough Memorial Centre on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Both teams get a long rest after that, as game six is on Wednesday in Whitby. If necessary, Game seven is on Thursday at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
