Ottawa earned a hard-fought win, last night, edging the Peterborough Petes by a final score of 3-2. Vinzenz Rohrer and Brady Stonehouse got the 67's started, offensively, before Teddy Sawyer's dazzling late-second period goal lifted the Barber Poles to victory. The Petes had no answer for Will Cranley in the third, who made a series of sterling stops to earn the win for his squad.

The IceDogs last saw action on Tuesday, falling 6-2 to the Mississauga Steelheads, at home. Declan Waddick and Juan Copeland had the goals, while Joseph Costanzo made 40 saves in goal.

These teams last faced off on January 21, from The Arena at TD Place. An overtime winner from Rohrer sealed a victory for the Barber Poles, in a tight-checking 4-3 result.
