Ryan Martindale scored twice and set up another goal as the Ottawa 67's downed the Peterborough Petes 6-2 in the Ontario Hockey League on Friday night.
Martindale, a centre, and OHL scoring leader Tyler Toffoli were reunited with usual linemate Shane Prince after the left-winger returned to the lineup after suffering an upper-body injury almost two weeks ago.
Toffoli notched his league-high 44th goal of the season and added two assists for 86 points in 49 games while Prince also scored for the 67's (32-15-2), who've won three straight.
"Shane Prince (coming back) was good for our line," said Martindale, who scored the only goal of the first period and made it 2-0 for Ottawa early in the second with a power-play marker.
"We had a lot of jump at the start. We took it to them and that set the tone for the rest of the game."
Cody Lindsay, who was named OHL and Canadian Hockey League player of the week after recording back-to-back hat tricks last weekend, added a goal and an assist along with Thomas Nesbitt.
Rookie Sean Monahan had two assists and Petr Mrazek stopped 21 shots as the 67's wrapped up the season series against Peterborough with their seventh win in eight meetings.
Matt Puempel had a goal and set up Austin Watson's power-play marker for the Petes (15-33-2), who have lost three straight.
Andrew D'Agostini finished with 42 saves.
Elsewhere in the OHL it was: Erie 5 Sault Ste. Marie 3; Mississauga 6 Sarnia 3; Brampton 2 Belleville 1; Kingston 3 London 2 (OT); Kitchener 6 Plymouth 3; Sudbury 8 Saginaw 2 and Oshawa 6 Barrie 5.
