Game Recap: Rangers Find Their Winning Form Splitting Home-and-Home With Storm
Kitchener, Ont. – The Kitchener Rangers snapped their three goal slide taking the second half of a home-and-home against the Guelph Storm. After a scoreless first period, and a flurry of chances, Luke Ellinas snapped Collin Ellsworth’s shutout bid with a late second period goal to score in consecutive games. Cameron Arquette opened the third period with a quick goal to extend the Rangers lead to two, with assists from Jack Pridham and Christian Humphreys. Jack Pridham sealed the game with an empty net goal to get himself back into the scoring column, and the Rangers back into the winning column.
Christian Kirsch backstopped the Rangers to his tenth win of the season, reaching the double-digit mark in just 14 games. Kirsch turned aside 21/22 Guelph attempts on net.
