Christian Humphreys and Jack Pridham once again led the way. Scoring the opening two goals. Pridham added two assists, while Humphreys picked up one. Cameron Arquette and Gabriel Chiarot both found the back of the net in a dominant second period. Kingston responded with two goals, but it wasn’t enough to catch the Rangers.
