Game Recap: Rangers Fall 3-2 to Generals, Lose in Regulation for First Time Since September
Oshawa, ON – The Rangers fought hard, but Calum Ritchie’s third period goal was enough for the Oshawa Generals to skate away with the regulation victory, ending Kitchener’s point streak at 16 games.
Oshawa skated to a 2-0 lead through goals from Luke Torrance and Calum Ritchie. Kitchener responded with Carson Campbell’s first career OHL goal and a Luca Romano breakaway early in the third period. However, it was Calum Ritchie getting the last laugh scoring the game-winning goal with 6:15 left in regulation. The Rangers pushed hard with the extra attacker but couldn’t get the puck across the line.
Kitchener’s Carson Campbell skated in his 100th career OHL game and recorded his first career OHL goal. Luca Romano extended his goal streak to seven games.
