Peterborough Petes Extend Losing Streak On the Road to Ottawa 67's in 6-2 Loss

The Peterborough Petes extend their losing streak to three, losing to the Ottawa 67’s, ironically the last team they defeated, in a 6-2 loss at the TD Place Arena on Sunday.

The Petes allowed the first four scores in the first half of the game, coughing up goals to Vinzenz Rohrer, Luca Pinelli, Henry Mews and Brady Stonehouse respectively.

Tucker Robertson eventually broke the shutout for Peterborough. He beat 67’s goalie Collin MacKenzie’s five-hole on the powerplay to make it 4-1 into the third period.

The Petes could not build any momentum as they allowed another two goals from Ottawa’s Matthew Mayich and Cooper Foster. Ottawa had six different goal-scorers contribute to their offense. Robertson was able to score his second of the game in the final two minutes to make it 6-2 but it was all for naught.

Peterborough suffered penalty woes throughout the game as they committed 11 minors, two majors and three game misconducts.

As both teams were given coincidental roughing minor penalties with 12 seconds left in the game, Liam Sztuska and MacKenzie got into a rare goaltender fight that ignited the crowd.

The Petes next game is Big Brothers Big Sisters night on Thursday against the Kitchener Rangers as Peterborough will attempt to snap their three-game losing streak.
