The first period was all Lakers as Josh Currier opened the scoring under three minutes into the game. Robinson nabbed a pair of consecutive goals — with the first goal shorthanded — to make it a 3-0 lead after the opening period.
Brampton got their feet off the ground in the second period and scored first with Rory Graham getting the Excelsiors on the board, unassisted. Both teams traded two goals apiece until Brampton scored three consecutive unanswered goals to round out the period, finishing a five-goal stanza to even the game at five apiece.
The momentum seemingly continued for Brampton as they got the first goal of the period with Curtis Goddard’s second of the game for a 6-5 lead. The Lakers began to surge shortly after, getting the next four goals thanks to Currier’s second, a pair of Taite Cattoni goals and Robinson capping off his hat trick. James Whitford scored for Brampton in the last 15 seconds of the game but it was too little, too late and the Lakers won their fourth straight game with a 9-7 win.
Drew Hutchinson picks up the win, stopping 42 of 49 shots for Peterborough. The win puts the Lakers into a tie for first place with the Six Nations Chiefs with 14 points.
The Lakers’s next game is at PMC against the Cobourg Kodiaks. in their third matchup of the season. Peterborough has won both games with two meetings to go in the regular season.
