Peterborough Express: Keeping the Pressure On

Peterborough entered the week only four points out of the last playoff spot and will end the week just two out.  Thursday, they beat Brampton 3-1 to gain ground on Kingston, and on Friday, they beat Ottawa 5-1, but since Kingston also won that evening, the Petes will have to settle for that two point gain.

Monday, they host Owen Sound and they will also host Oshawa on Thursday before heading out to Belleville on Friday and Oshawa on Saturday.  Yes, a playoff spot is realistic, but you do not want to be looking past some formidable teams, and this coming week will be telling of where the Petes stand in the playoff chase.  Keep in mind that though Kingston and Mississauga both need to lose (Peterborough is only six points out of the seventh seed), the Petes need to take care of their own business and let the chips fall where they may on the other teams' fates.
