Holden Cattoni kicked off the scoring for the Lakers, 8:42 into the game. Owen Sound quickly countered with two goals of their own in 11 seconds for the 2-1 lead. A pair of Turner Evans goals and one from Thomas Hoggarth had Peterborough regain the lead 4-2 and never fell behind since. After a Tyler Halls unassisted goal for Owen Sound, Peterborough capped off a six-goal period thanks to scores from Joe Resetarits and Cattoni to make it 6-3 after one.

The second stanza was all Peterborough. They blanked Owen Sound and scored four goals to extend their lead to 10-3. Koleton Marquis tacked on a pair while Resetarits and Hoggath netted their second score of the game.

Peterborough continued their run as Hoggath got the hat trick to mark the Lakers’s seventh-straight goal of the game. Owen Sound finally found the back of the net again as Tanner Buck rang off back-to-back goals including a power-play score.

Cattoni got his hat trick with an unassisted goal to make it 12-5. Buck got a hat trick of his own on the power play. Dante Kulas added another goal for Owen Sound but with 90 seconds left, it was too little too late. Taite Cattoni added an extra goal for good measure and Peterborough earned back-to-back wins over Owen Sound in the home-and-home series that started Saturday.

The Lakers will have a heavyweight bout as they host the defending Mann Cup-champion Six Nations Chiefs on Thursday.
