He know has as many goals as games played wearing the 'C.' Starting to look like he wears it well.
On the goals front Petit was not alone though. Andrew Bruder scored a highlight reel goal to spark the Mustangs late in the third and begin the comeback.
Despite not being able to complete the comeback Goaltender Dylan Myskiw was a major factor in slowing down the Guelph offense.
Despite the large amounts of penalty minutes for both teams special teams were not a factor in this contest as both teams finished 0/2 on their powerplays.
Western's even strength play fell short and down the stretch their comeback momentum proved too little too late.
The Mustangs will take a week off and return to play on February 25 when they host Waterloo at 7:00 pm.
