It only took 2:51 for the Wolves to strike first as Owen Protz just crossed the blue line, wristed it past Liam Stutzka and made it 1-0. Roughly 7:30 later, Jakub Chromiak received a pass and took a shot from the point. It was tipped by Nick Yearwood and it got by Stutzka again for a 2-0 lead for Sudbury.
The second period saw Peterborough struggle to get shots on net as they only had eight to Sudbury’s 21. Tommy Purdeller had a chance on a tight angle but Jakub Vondras made the save, hanging close to the post. The Petes were trying to break out from their own zone but Kieron Walton pickpocketed Carson Cameron shortly after receiving a pass from Samuel Mayer and rifled it for a 3-0 Sudbury lead.
The Wolves struck quickly again to start the period as under three minutes in, Andre Anania took a point shot and was deflected to Sudbury players David Goyette and then Evan Konyan to slip it by Stutzka for the 4-0 lead. The Petes were unable to solve Vondras and the Petes took their first loss of the season 4-0.
The Petes are going to see a familiar face in their next game on Thursday as they host the London Knights. This marks the return of 2023 Playoff MVP and former Petes goaltender Michael Simpson. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
