Kingston, ON - A game that was tied 2-2 with 3:50 in regulation before two Kingston power-play goals handed Kitchener their first regulation loss in three games. Christian Humphreys extended his point streak to four with an assist and is producing at a two-point-per-game clip. The Frontenacs spoiled the return of Jakub Chromiak, who missed the first meeting between the clubs at The Aud while away with Team Slovakia at the World Juniors.

The Fronts scored late in the first through Nolan Buttar to open the scoring, but Trent Swick and the Rangers countered just 47 seconds later to even the score. Less than a minute after that, Tuomas Uronen recorded his first of the game to send Kingston into the first intermission with a 2-1 lead. Chris Grisolia scored the lone goal of the second period making it a 2-2 game after 40 minutes of play. With no scoring through 16 minutes in the third period, Kingston finally found the break through with Tuomas Uronen scoring his second of the game on the power play. Jacob Battaglia added another power play goal with 34 seconds on the clock to secure the victory for the Frontenacs.
