The Petes wasted little time getting started. James McMurray opened the scoring just 22 seconds into the game, assisted by Leon Kolarik and Carson Cameron.

Adam Levac doubled Peterborough's lead late in the first period, with Adam Novotný and Calum Hartnell picking up the assists. Kingston's Adam Goljer answered on the power play with 1:38 left in the period, but Lucas Karmiris restored the Petes' two-goal advantage with just 34 seconds remaining in the opening 20, assisted by Grayden Strohack.

Kingston's Landon Wright made it a 3-2 game early in the opening three minutes of the second, but Levac scored his second of the night on the power play midway through the period to restore the two goal lead. Assisted by Kolarik and Karmiris, the goal gave Levac his first multi-goal game as a Pete.

The Petes then broke the game open with three goals in a span of just 1 minute and 54 seconds in the third period. Yanis Lutz started the run at 10:21, assisted by Cooper Dennis and Karmiris. Braydon McCallum followed just 42 seconds later, with Novotný and Levac collecting the assists, before Dennis capped the flurry at 12:15 with a power play goal.

Aleksei Medvedev made 32 saves on 34 shots to earn the win. Acquired from the London Knights last week, the goaltender is now 2-0 in his first two starts with Peterborough.

The Petes finished 2-for-2 on the power play, while Kingston went 1-for-5. Peterborough also held a slight 35-34 advantage in shots on goal.

The seven goals tied a season high for the Petes, matching the total the put up in a 7-4 win over Sarnia back on September 24th at the PMC.
