Peterborough opened the game with a five-goal run while Lakers goaltender Landon Kells kept the ball out of the net, shutting out Owen Sound in the first period for a 5-0 score.

The Lakers continued to ring up the scoreboard and Hellyer got his second of the game, just as he opened the scoring in the first period for a 6-0 lead. Owen Sound broke the shutout, scoring two straight goals for a 6-2 score. Hoggarth got his second of the night and Hellyer got the hat trick to pull away from Owen Sound again for an 8-2 score at the end of two periods.

Peterborough did not let up on offense, scoring another six goals to finish an eight-goal run. That included three goals from Resetarits for a four-goal night. Owen Sound got two scores in garbage time, and the Lakers easily left with a 14-4 win.

The Lakers can sweep the series as game three is back in Peterborough on Thursday at 8 p.m.
