The Wolves got a quick start as Kieron Walton gave Sudbury a 1-0 lead after a power play goal. Four minutes later, Landon McCallum (brother of Petes player Braydon) extended the lead to 2-0. Sudbury capitalized on the power play again as Alex Pharand scored to give the Wolves a 3-0 lead into the second period.

The Petes got an opportunity as Sudbury’s Kocha Delic got a five-minute major penalty for slew footing. Petes’s Sahil Panwar tipped a Sam Mayer shot and put Peterborough on the board with a power play goal. A minute and a half later, J.R. Avon would score his third goal in two games to make it 2-1 into the third.

Peterborough’s Sam Mayer tied the game in the third with a rebound shot to make it 3-3. Jack Van Volsen would pick up his first OHL assist on the play. The game remained tied at regulation so the Petes would head to overtime for the second time in two games.

Three minutes into overtime, right after Tucker Robertson hit the post, Nathan Villeneuve would sneak one past Michael Simpson to give the Wolves the win.

The Petes are back at home on Thursday against the Kingston Frontenacs on Disney night.
