Eric Cornel (+1) notched a pair of assists Thursday as Peterborough opened the 2015-16 schedule with a 5-4 victory over Ottawa. Cornel got it going quickly, sending a backhand from the left side to a streaking Steven Lorentz for a goal just 10 seconds into the game. Later in the third period, Cornel came down the right side on the power play and sent a slap shot at the net that rebounded into a scrum and ended up in the back of the net for hi second assist of the night. Travis Konecny (PHI) scored twice on seven shots for the losing side.
