Game Recap: Rangers Double Up Generals as Debutants Leave Their Mark
Kitchener, Ont. – The Kitchener Rangers defeated the Oshawa Generals 4-2 to sweep the season series two games to none. Matthew Andonovski making his season debut and Jared Woolley making his Rangers debut combined to set up Avry Anstis for the game’s first goal.
Another trade acquisition, Dylan Edwards scored his 20th goal of the season to give the Rangers a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes. Christian Humphreys extended his point streak to six games with an assist. Then, fresh out of the penalty box, Jared Woolley was sprung in on a breakaway, beating the Oshawa net-minder to make it three unanswered goals or the Rangers. Woolley’s goal would end up as the game winner.
Anthony Figliomeni scored late in the middle frame to make it a two-goal game before Harrison Franssen scored late in the final period with the goalie pulled bringing the game within one.
