Game Recap: Rangers Fall 3-2 in Shootout, But Become Second Team to Reach 90-Point Mark

Owen Sound, ON – The Rangers pick up a point and bring their season total to 90, becoming the second team to reach that total this season. With a goal in the game, Christian Humphreys has accumulated seven point in his last three games. Rangers first round draft choice from a season ago, Evan Headrick got on the board for his third of the season.

Evan Headrick opened the scoring with the lone first period goal. Christian Humphreys doubled the Ranger lead early in the second period before Masen Wray got the Attack on the board with a short-handed goal. Max Bleicher got the equalizer at the 8:44 mark of the third period. With nothing doing in the overtime frame, the game required a shootout. Both Attack players found the back of the net while both Ranger attempts were turned aside.
