(Peterborough, ON) - Chris Paquette scored the game's first goal and Hunter Jones put in a mostly solid performance between the pipes, but in their third game in as many nights the Petes couldn't muster enough energy to match the Soo Greyhounds.

After Paquette's goal, the Greyhounds scored three straight in the second period, including league scoring leader Morgan Frost's 100th career OHL goal. They added another in the third period to take a 4-1 lead.

Mid-way through the third, Max Grondin scored his third goal of the weekend on Adam Timleck's assist (his fifth point in two games), but with two minutes to play the Greyhounds scored four times on the energy-less Petes to win the game 8-2.

Final shots were 36-25 in favour of Sault Ste. Marie. Jones stopped 28 of 35 shots. The Petes were 0/5 on the power play and 5/6 on the penalty kill. With Hamilton and Mississauga earning points on Saturday, the Petes dropped to seventh in the tight Eastern Conference Standings.

The Petes return to home ice for a rare Wednesday night game on January 30 at 7:05pm when they host the East Division rival Hamilton Bulldogs on Bell Let's Talk First Responders Night at the PMC. Tickets are available through the Baker Tilly Box Office in person, over the phone at (705) 743-3561, and online.

For just $59.99 (tax included), fans will receive two Petes holiday mugs, two $2 Tim Hortons Tim Cards, and four ticket vouchers. The regular price of this package is $118, which means fans save almost 50% on the special offer. Contact Mike at (705) 743-3681 x 263 to purchase one of the few remaining packages.
