The first road game went perfectly for the Peterborough Petes as they routed the Barrie Colts 5-0 at the Sadlon Arena on Saturday.
Tucker Robertson continued his high-level play, scoring on a backhand shot to put Peterborough up 1-0. The Colts had briefly tied the game at but further review deemed the play offside and reversed the call. Jack Van Volsen made it 2-0 after scoring a one-timer in the final 27 seconds of the period. Sahil Panwar assisted on the play for his first point as a Pete. He was acquired in a trade for three draft picks last Monday.
Only two minutes into the second, Petes’ Chase Stillman made it 3-0 for Peterborough. Three minutes later, Robertson made it 4-0, scoring on a breakaway and netting his third goal of the season.
Halfway through the third period, Connor Lockhart scored his second goal of the year to give the Petes a 5-0 win.
Michael Simpson earns his first shutout of the season, stopping all 26 shots, his second career shutout.
The Petes continue their road trip and look to exact revenge on the North Bay Battalion on Thursday. North Bay dealt Peterborough their one-and-only loss at the Peterborough Memorial Centre last Thursday.
