Kitchener, Ont. - There was no shortage of goals for the Rangers offence tonight as the Blueshirts put six past the Peterborough Petes on route to a 6-3 victory. With a three-point night, Cameron Reid crossed the 100-point threshold for his OHL career.

Jakub Chromiak got the blue shirts on the board quickly hammering home a feed from Cameron Reid 64 seconds into the game. Jack LaBrash buried a rebound in tight to give the Rangers a two goal lead less than three minutes into the game. The Pete's battled back; Adam Levac scored his 11th of the year to cut the Rangers lead in half.

The second period was all Kitchener; with just over 13 minutes remaining in the period, Weston Cameron popped in a short side goal on sweet behind-the-net pass from Avry Anstis for his second of the season to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead. Another power place chance for the Rangers lead to Cameron Reid blasting a one-timer on a feed from Alexander Bilecki and Tanner Lam to open the flood gates. The Blue Shirts weren't done there as Luca Romano got in the action, scoring his eighth of the season, netting the bouncing puck.

In the third; Avry Anstis ripped a short side for his fourth of the season, with assists coming from Christian Humphreys and Cameron Reid. "I took a pass from Humps, and had speed as I just came off the bench, and it actually hit their players stick and rainbowed in," said Avry Anstis on his goal. Peterborough added two late, but the deficit was too large to overcome as Kitchener secured two points on home ice.

Christian Kirsch stood tall all game long, saving 33 of 36 shots, earning his 13th win of the season.

QUOTES FROM COACH:

"It was a solid performance, it was a good start to the game".

"All four lines played pretty well, I thought there was no question, at any point, who would win the game tonight".

"I'm happy for Anstis, and Weston Cameron, [they] played well".

Attendance: 6,833
