Game Recap: Sam O’Reilly Scores Late To Power Rangers To Fourth Straight Victory
Kitchener, Ont. – The Kitchener Rangers scored with 1:48 remaining on the clock late in the third period to secure their fourth straight victory, defeating the Guelph Storm 4-3. Guelph opened the scoring before the Rangers scored three unanswered goals to take a 3-1 lead midway through the game. Matthew Andonovski scored his first goal of the season on a odd man rush with Sam O’Reilly. After Guelph battled back to tie the game, Andonovski returned the favour to O’Reilly and the Tampa Bay prospect, made no mistake scoring his first goal on home ice for the Rangers and netting the game winning goal.
