The Peterborough Petes took a pair of losses against the visiting North Bay Batallion and the Niagara IceDogs on the road to fall to a three-game losing streak over the weekend.
Newly-acquired Peterborough Pete Ryder McIntyre made his team debut after a trade with the Oshawa Generals for a draft pick on Friday.
The Petes did not have the start they wanted against North Bay on Saturday night at the Peterborough Memorial Centre. After the first period, they found themselves in a five-goal deficit, down 6-1.
Peterborough tried to fight back as they overcame a similar situation against the Oshawa Generals on Nov. 19 but could not get lighting to strike twice. They eventually lost the game with a final of 7-3. Samuel Meyer scored two goals while Owen Beck got one for the Petes.
The Petes travelled to St. Catherine’s at the Meridian Centre to take on the Niagara IceDogs on Sunday afternoon.
No scoring was made until Jax Dubois got Peterborough on the board with less than two minutes left in the second period.
The Petes could not hold the IceDogs down in the third as the home team scored just over three minutes in and under five minutes left to defeat Peterborough, 2-1.
The Petes will try to snap their losing streak on Thursday as they welcome the Brantford Bulldogs for their annual Teddy Bear Toss game. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
