The Niagara IceDogs bounced back in a big way Sunday afternoon at the Gatorade Garden City Complex, picking up a huge 9-0 win over the visiting Peterborough Petes in their third game in as many days.
The first period saw the IceDogs take a 1-0 lead when Freddie Hamilton opened the scoring by putting home a Jesse Graham point shot for the only goal of the first period. Shots in the period were 13-9 in favour of the IceDogs.
Niagara would break the game open in the second frame, picking up four more goals, as Andrew Agozzino would strike twice, his fourth and fifth goals of the weekend, before David Pacan would score shorthanded and Brett Ritchie would pick up his first as an IceDog to make it 5-0 for the home side after 40 minutes.
The third period would see the IceDogs carry the momentum over from the second, as the defence would get in on the action. Pacan would pick up his second of the night, before Luke Mercer would score to stretch the lead to 7-0. Shayne Rover would then pick up his first career OHL goal in his 171st career game for the most popular goal of the afternoon. Jesse Graham would then close out the scoring to make it a 9-0 final.
