The Squires outshot the Outlaws, 42-37.
Jakob Knowles took the goaltending loss with 35 saves.

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.
