Kyle Heitzner has been one of the most dangerous Orillia forwards, but he could not score Friday as his team fell 5-2 in Penetang. The series is now tied 2-2, with Game 5 on tap tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Rotary Place. Tyler Evans/OrilliaMatters

 The Penetang Kings are back on even terms with the Orillia Terriers.

The Kings earned a 5-2 win Friday night on home ice to knot their best-of-seven Provincial Junior Hockey League series at two games apiece.

Calan Tanzi-Foshay gave the Terriers an early lead, scoring just 34 seconds into the contest, but Penetang scored five straight goals to take over the contest. Tanzi-Foshay also scored the team's other goal, with just eight seconds left on the clock.

Jason Cumbo stopped 27 of 32 shots and took the loss between the pipes. Ruan Badenhorst returned to the cage for Penetang, stopping 35 of 37 shots to pick up the win.

A pivotal fifth game will be played in Orillia tonight. Game time at Rotary Place is 7:30 p.m.

Game 6 will be played Sunday night in Penetang with a decisive seventh game, if necessary, slated for Orillia Tuesday night.
