Six Nations started hot as former Laker Eli McLaughlin scored the opening goal. It was followed up by three more Chiefs goals for a 4-0 lead with 8:34 left to play. It was a game of runs as the Lakers’s special teams got them on the scoreboard. Turner Evans and Joe Resetarits had power-play goals while Thomas Hoggath scored shorthanded for a 4-3 game.

Unfortunately for Peterborough, that was all they could muster as Six Nations goalie Doug Jamieson shut the door for the last 44:16 of the game. Travis Longboat scored in the last 1:49 of the period for a 5-3 Six Nations lead after one.

The Chiefs scored seven unanswered goals including five in the second period. McLaughlin burned his former team with a hat trick to cap off the second, and Six Nations held a comfortable 10-3 lead.

In a low-scoring third period, Dhane Smith and Longboat were the lone scorers as they extended the Chiefs lead and put an exclamation point on Game Three for a decisive 12-3 win for a 2-1 series in favour of the Lakers.

The Lakers will try and rebound in Game Four at the Peterborough Memorial Centre on Thursday.
