It’s been an up and down season for the Petrolia Flyers.

They are now 7-9-2 on the PJHL campaign after losses to Exeter and North Middlesex last weekend. It’s the fourth time this season the Flyers have lost at least two straight games.

Friday, Logan Crummy and Ryan Nichols had a goal and two assists each in a 5-4 loss to the Hawks at Exeter. Crummy was named second star of the contest.

Noel Sanderson and Jace McGrail also scored for Petrolia.

The Flyers rallied from 4-1 and 5-2 to cut the deficit to a goal before running out of time.

Ryder Brown made 32 stops.

A night earlier at Greenwood, Ben Gustafson turned aside 44 shots to backstop North Middlesex to a 7-1 win.

Brown and Maxx Mailloux combined to make 34 stops in the Flyer crease.

Nichols had the lone marker for Petrolia and now has nine goals and 15 points in his last six games.

After finishing their four-game road trip, the Flyers are back on home ice this week. They face the Port Stanley Sailors Thursday night at 7:30 at Greenwood Arena.
