Both teams scored two goals apiece in a seesaw battle in the opening frame. Thomas Hoggarth struck first for the Lakers 56 seconds in. Lyle Thompson responded two minutes later to tie things up at one. Austin Hasen and Austin Staats traded goals for the Lakers and Chiefs respectively for the 2-2 tie into the second.
Brendan Bomberry pulled Six Nations ahead to open up the stanza 47 seconds in. Peterborough took the load with a pair of goals from Hoggarth’s second of the night and Taite Cattoni getting his first, 4-3 Lakers. It started to go downhill for Peterborough as Thompson got his second of the game. Randy and Austin Staats both tacked on a goal for Six Nations to make it 6-4 going into the third.
The final frame was the lowest scoring period with only three goals scored. Turner Evans opened the scoring for Peterborough but it was the only goal they could muster. Both the Staats tacked on another goal for Six Nations and the Lakers fell 8-5.
The Lakers return home to take on the Cobourg Kodiaks this Thursday at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
