Erie, PA - Both teams traded a spell of three unanswered goals in a tightly contested matchup in which Sam O'Reilly and the Kitchener Rangers were able to skate away with the extra point scoring 45 seconds into the overtime period.
Luca Romano scored his second goal in as many games to open the scoring and was followed by another power play goal by Jack Pridham who doubled the Rangers lead after 20 minutes of play. Haeden Ellis made it three in a row for the Blueshirts early in the middle frame before the Otters struck for three unanswered goals of their own. Evan Headrick got the game-tying goal for the Otters recording his first point against the Rangers. The teams played to a scoreless third period with a Rangers goal being taken off the board for goalie interference. However, it didn't take long for the Rangers to strike in the overtime period with Sam O'Reilly jumping on a loose puck to give Kitchener their seventh win in a row.
