He joined the Squires this season after a four-year NCAA career with Elmira College in upstate New York.
The Squires outshot the Outlaws, 42-37.
Jakob Knowles took the goaltending loss with 35 saves.
Petrolia is now 4-1 on the season.
The Squires host Delhi Friday at 8:30 before a stop in Milverton for a Sunday afternoon contest.
Petrolia also bolstered its roster last week with the signing of Carson Peer. The Oil City product had an 11-game stint last season with the University of Dubuque in Iowa. Both Pavey and Peer are graduates of the Lambton Jr. Sting and Sarnia Legionnaires.
