Kitchener, ON - The Kitchener Rangers put on a defensive clinic holding Flint to just one goal to punch their ticket to the next round of the OHL Playoffs. Tanner Lam and Christian Humphreys both scored for the second straight game to provide Kitchener with the only offence they would need. Jackson Parsons was stellar in the Rangers goal turning aside 24 shots.
Tanner Lam opened the scoring in the first half of the opening period before Alex Kostov tied it late for the Firebirds. Christian Humphreys scored 1:18 into the second period and that goal would prove to be the game winner.
Attendance: 6,685
