Darren Ferguson's side are now out of the bottom three on goal difference while the Owls sit a point clear.As the break approached, Dave Jones's side thought they had the lead when Gardner met Danny Pugh's corner but his header was just wide. Peterborough go back ahead of Barnsley, who beat Hull earlier on Saturday, on goal difference in the table heading into their final game of the season at Crystal Palace.After half-time, Gayle was lively again but this time Miguel Llera blocked his shot inside the area and referee Nigel Miller waved away pleas for handball.Wednesday now have to beat Middlesbrough at home on the final day to ensure they remain in the second tier.The opener came just after the hour mark when McCann stepped up to fire in a powerful free-kick off the post.A point would have been enough to secure Wednesday's Championship status and they came close to taking the lead when a high free-kick dropped to Seyi Olofinjana but a brave block from Gabriel Zakuani denied the Owls.Leroy Lita, Lewis Buxton and Gardner all missed late chances for the Owls but Peterborough held on and their survival hopes remain in their own hands.Gayle then had a chance to get his 14th goal for Posh but his low effort was easily saved by Wednesday keeper Kirkland.
