Saginaw struck first as a former Peterborough Pete in James Guo as he one-timed it at a wide-open net after receiving a pass from a circling Kristian Epperson to make it 1-0. Just over eight minutes later, the Petes got on the board as they had an odd-man rush. Francis Parish opted to take the shot and wristed it past Kaleb Papineau for a 1-1 tie.
With no scoring in the second and int he first 17 minutes of the third, Brody Partridge quickly won the faceoof for the Petes back to defenseman Carson Cameron. The latter quickly snapped it and scored to give Peterborough their first lead of the game with 2:25 left in regulation.
Peterborough held on for the victory, their first of the season after 16 games and defeat Saginaw, 2-1.
The Petes continue their thre-game road trip as they play the Flint Firebirds at the Dort Financial Center on Friday. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m.
