Generals Take On The Petes

As the Generals continued their pre-season road trip they visited their long time rival, Peterborough Pete’s. The Generals took on the Pete’s in front of 1898 fans on Thursday night with both sides hungry for the first win of the pre-season.

The Generals came out strong and ready to get the job done, at the 2:48 mark of the opening period Generals Adam Lloyd gave the Generals the lead. Peterborough answered back late in the period to tie things up a 1. Oshawa outshot the Pete’s 14-6 in the opening period.

Oshawa came out with a fast paced, hard hitting second period and answered with a goal from Tyler Hore early in the second. The Generals high energy continued throughout the period and mid-way through the second Cole Cassels makes it 3-1 Oshawa.  Lucas Lessio scored the 3^rd unanswered goal for Oshawa at the 16 minute mark of the second and The Generals end the period up 4-1.

Generals Vet Boone Jenner adds to the lead making it 5-1 Oshawa one minute into the 3^rd period. The score board stayed the same for the remainder of the game except for the penalty and shot clock. After several fights then buzzer finalizes the game and the generals return home with a 5-1 victory over the Peterborough Pete’s and a record of 1-1. General’s goalie Daniel Altshuller can’t go without mention after stopping 25 of 26 shots on net. Oshawa outshot the Pete’s 34-26 on Thursday night.

Generals Next Pre-Season game will be Saturday Night at the Ajax Community Centre at 7:05pm as they take on the Peterborough Pete’s. This should be a great game as the Pete’s look for revenge and the Generals look to shut out the Pete’s in Pre-Season action.

The Oshawa Generals will play back to back games against the Belleville Bulls on Tuesday Night at 7:05pm in Bowmanville at the Garnet B Rickard Recreation Complex and then again Friday Night Sept 14^th at 7:00pm in Uxbridge to close out their pre-season action.
