The North Bay Battalion are up 3 games to 2 in their playoff series against the Peterborough Petes.

Captain Mike Amadio got the winner in overtime for the 2-1 win while Jake Smith made 34 saves in net. Smith says he’s relying on his experience over the last two years to get the Troops the wins they need.

Brett McKenzie opened the scoring for the Troops who will head to Peterborough for Game Six tomorrow (Sunday).

 The Battalion now leads the series 3 games to 2.

Head Coach Stan Butler says you never know what’s going to happen in overtime, so he told the team to put the puck on net.
