Sarnia, ON - It was the Rangers with a dominant first period striking twice on the power play with goals from Jack Pridham and Trent Swick to hold a 2-0 advantage after 20 minutes of play. A fortuitous bounce for Ryan Brown and the Sting got them back in the game five minutes into the second period and sparked the first of three unanswered goals for Sarnia. A late push from the Rangers was turned away as the Sting held on for a 3-2 victory.

The Kitchener power play got back on track going 2-for-4 with the man advantage to end a six-game goalless drought dating back to November 29th against the Owen Sound Attack. Jack Pridham extended his goal streak to four games and now has five goals in his last four games.
