Kitchener Rangers News Release
Kitchener, ON - Two power play goals and two short-handed goals with one even strength goal sandwiched in the middle helped Kitchener secure a commanding 5-1 win over the Owen Sound Attack. The Rangers now improve to 3-0-1-0 over the Attack this season. Adrian Misaljevic recorded his second career hat-trick scoring Kitchener's first three goals in the game and Jason Schaubel improved to 6-1-1-1 on the season and a perfect 3-0-0-0 at The Aud.
Adrian Misaljevic recorded two power play goals just 55 seconds apart in the opening period. He scored the lone goal of the second period to complete the hat-trick. Owen Sound got on the board 19 seconds into the third period, but that was all they would get. Chris Grisolia got the lead back to three with the first short-handed goal, then Jack Pridham was awarded a penalty shot while short-handed and he made no mistake beating Carter George of the Attack.
