Kitchener Rangers News Release
Kitchener, ON - Kitchener doubled Sudbury in the goal column Friday night beating the Wolves 8-4 in their lone home matchup this season. Adrian Misaljevic was brilliant recording his first career OHL hat trick in the game. Misaljevic's six-point night (3G, 3A) matched a feat only accomplished by two other players this season, Ethan Belchetz (WSR) and Kevin He (NIAG) for the most points recorded in a single game.
Kitchener held a 3-1 advantage after the opening 20 minutes of play. Captain Matthew Andonovski got the Rangers on the board five minutes into the contest registering his first goal of the season. Luca Romano and Jakub Chromiak followed suit for Kitchener's second and third goals respectively. Sudbury had only trailed twice all season after the first period before tonight's game.
Kitchener matched their first period goal total with another three goals in the middle frame. Trent Swick with a power play goal, Kitchener's second of the game, Adrian Misaljevic, and Cameron Reid closed the scoring for the second period. The final period belonged to Adrian Misaljevic who scored twice, once with the net empty to complete his hat trick.
