Game Recap: Rangers Grab 2 Points with Overtime Win In Owen Sound
Owen Sound, Ont. – The Kitchener Rangers grabbed all 4 points in this weekend’s 2-game set, as they topped Owen Sound with a 3-2 overtime win. The club has now collected points in 8 of its last 9 games and is surging towards the top of the Western Conference.
In what is starting to become a nightly occurrence, Cameron Arquette started the Rangers’ offence, this time on the power play, netting his team’s leading 14th goal of the year. Luca Romano and Alexander Bilecki would chip in helpers on the goal, giving the Rangers a 1-0 lead after the first 20.
The second period saw both teams take a flurry of penalties. While neither team capitalized on the man advantage, both teams did manage to find the back of the net in the period. The Blueshirts would jump out to a 2-0 lead with Charlie Puglisi firing home his 5th goal of the year. Owen Sound would respond with Lucas Prod’homme sending a one-time shot over the Ranger netminder to bring the Attack back within a goal heading into the final frame.
Owen Sound would claw back from the 2-goal deficit as Pierce Mbuyi would begin the third period by netting his 15th goal of the year on the power play. The Attack captain’s marker would be the only goal in the period, sending the game into a sudden death overtime period.
Nearly the entire extra frame would pass by before Ranger rookie Jiri Gombar netted his 2nd career goal in the final minute to send the Blueshirts back to Kitchener with another 2 points.
