Eric Locke has shown a knack for scoring in bunches this season. And today, was just one of those days.

The slick centreman had a hat-trick and Craig Duininck's first goal of the year proved to be the winner, as the Spitfires stormed back with six goals in the third period to top the Peterborough Petes, 7-2, in a Sunday afternoon matinee.

Jack Campbell was once again outstanding in goal, stopping 32 shots for the win.

Fresh off a sweep of the Michigan teams, it was the Petes that pulled ahead in the first period.

A great individual effort from Alan Quine - and some less than enthusiastic defensive work by the Spits - led to the game's opening goal.

Quine picked up a puck in the right circle and noodled his way through a maze of Windsor defenders before sliding one past Jack for a 1-0 Petes lead.

The Petes didn't wait long to extend their lead.

On a power play, Austin Watson took a brilliant cross-crease pass from Matt Puempel and beat a lunging Jack Campbell with just 16 seconds left in the opening period.

Locke cut the lead in half in the second, picking up a rebound and beating Peterborough goalie Andrew D'Agostini to make it 2-1, after 40 minutes.

That set the stage for an explosive third period.

Locke's second of the game, off a nice feed from Ryan Ellis, tied things up at 2-2 at the 7:46 mark.

Then, about 90 seconds later, Duininck's bomb from the left point beat D'Agostini cleanly to give the Spits their first lead of the game.

Then the onslaught really started.

Locke's third made it 4-2 at the 12:35 mark. Ellis, Zack Kassian and Kenny Ryan rounded out the scoring with goals in a three-minute span.
