Kingston Frontenacs News Release


The Kingston Frontenacs won a wild 6-5 overtime game over the Peterborough Petes in the first afternoon affair of the 2020-21 OHL season at Leon's Centre as Kingston erased three two-goal deficits to take the two points. Rookie Matthew Soto had two goals and Lucas Edmonds scored his team leading 8th in extra time for the comeback win. Captain Shane Wright and Martin Chromiak each had four-assists in the comeback win.

After going down 2-0 in the first, Kingston maintained their composure falling down 3-1, and 4-2 before taking a 5-4 lead into the final minute on three straight third period goals by Soto (2) and Maddox Callens. The Petes were able to push the game to OT with their net empty, tying the game 5-5 with 17 seconds left. The Frontenacs showed resiliency and earned a huge division win to get within two points of the division lead.

Former Quinte Red Devils product Donovan McCoy earned an assist and is from nearby Belleville, ON. The Fronts have now taken all six team-points so far with a third win versus Peterborough.

Matthew Soto commented after the win: "We stuck to our game plan and came out with two points in a great effort by the team." The forward is now tied for the OHL scoring race with 13 points. "I don't really think about that stuff," said the rookie," its great, but I just think about winning and playing hard as a team."
