Game Recap: Rangers Hit Century Point Mark With 3-2 Win Over Owen Sound
Kitchener, ON – For the first time since the 2007-08 season, the Kitchener Rangers have tallied 100 points in a single season. It is also just the fourth time in team history a Ranger team has reached that point mark. After surrendering the opening goal, Kitchener outscored the Attack two-goals-to-one in the third period to earn their 26th home win of the season and finish with a 0.765 win percentage on home ice this season.
Landen Hookey of the Attack opened the scoring early in the second period, before Christian Humphreys got a power play marker with 53 seconds left in the middle frame. Jack Pridham and Trent Swick connected to give Kitchener their first lead of the game at the 7:48 mark of the third period. Pierce Mbuyi tied things up on an Owen Sound power play to draw the game even at 2-2. Just under two minutes later, Trent Swick set up Jack Pridham for the game-winning goal with the Rangers locking it down for the final 6:20 of the game.
