Peterborough, Ont. (November 2, 2006) - The IceDogs traveled to Peterborough this evening to take on the Petes after defeating last year's OHL champion 9-1 in Mississauga on October 15. The IceDogs put together another dominant performance tonight, winning 8-2. As a result, their record improves to 10-4-0-1 on the year.

The IceDogs started with two goals early in the 1st period, both coming off the stick of Chris Lawrence. The assists went to Michael Swift (2), Nathan Martine and Jadran Beljo. The Petes managed to slide one past IceDogs goaltender Andrew Loverock at 6:57 of the 2nd period, with newcomer Tony Rizzi the scorer and Zach Bogosian and Steve Downie notching the assists. However, the IceDogs fired another two goals past Petes backstopper Trevor Cann before the end of the middle frame. One was a Beljo power-play marker, with assists to Jordan Owens and Travis Fuller, and the follow-up came from Owens off of Alex Pietrangelo and Stefan Legein passes.

In the 3rd period, the IceDogs completed their offensive attack by outscoring the Petes 4-1. An Owens power-play goal was followed by an even-strength tally by Swift, a shorthanded strike by Legein and an even-strength goal by Fuller. Sandwiched in between was a Peterborough goal by Steve Lock, with assists to Rizzi and Kyle Raftis. The 3rd period IceDogs helpers were credited to Owens (2), Martine, Lawrence, Legein, Kyle Lamb and Josh Day.

The three stars of the game were Swift (1st), Lawrence (2nd) and Owens (3rd). Loverock finished the night with 23 saves while Cann had 27 stops. The IceDogs were 2 for 8 on the power-play while the Petes were 2 for 11.
