Austin Watson scored the winning goal as the Peterborough Petes ended a seven-game home losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Barrie Colts in Ontario Hockey League action Thursday.

Watson scored the winner at 3:51 of the third period, putting the rebound of a Justin Larson shot past Colts goaltender Clint Windsor.

The Petes had taken a 1-0 lead on Alan Quine's twentieth goal of the season on a beautiful feed from Matt Puempel during a five-on-three power play midway through the first.

The Petes (14-30-2) and Colts (8-34-4) are the only two teams in the OHL to have surrendered over 200 goals this season, but both played strong defensive games and got solid performances from their goalies.

At Peterborough, Ont., Windsor stopped 34 shots to keep Peterborough from pulling away, while Bryce O'Hagan made 29 saves for the Petes.

O'Hagan's shutout bid was spoiled when Steven Beyers fired on a power play at 8:04 of the third period.

The loss was the eighth straight overall and sixteenth straight on the road for Barrie.
