The Peterborough Petes are looking to bounce back tonight as they host the Ottawa 67’s for the second game of a home-and-home series. After a tough 3-0 loss in Ottawa last night, the Petes are now 7 points behind the 67’s for the final playoff spot in the OHL’s Eastern Conference.
Associate coach Andrew Verner spoke about the importance of limiting penalties, especially against a team like Ottawa, who boasts one of the league’s top powerplays.
Audio PlayerThe goaltending duo of Zach Bowen and Easton Rye has been strong this year, even in games where the team has come up short. Verner expressed confidence in both netminders heading into this busy stretch, which includes another home game on Saturday against the Kingston Frontenacs and one more on Family Day when the Kitchener Rangers come to town
Audio PlayerVerner says besides the solid goaltending they’ve been getting, there have been many positives this season but blocking shots is something they still need to improve on.
