Kitchener, Ont. - The Kitchener Rangers double up on the North Bay Battalion once again scoring two goals via the power play and once shorthanded to improve to 9-3-2-0 on the season. Tonight's victory gives Kitchener sole possession of second place in the Western Conference.

It was a tightly contested battle until a late second period power play sparked the offence for the Kitchener Rangers. With just one second on the clock, Luca Romano deflected home a Christian Humphreys point shot to open the scoring. Cameron Reid got his first of the season on a laser from the point, and later in third period after North Bay cut the lead to one, Luca Romano slotted his second of the game into the empty cage.

With a goal and an assist Cameron Reid extended his point streak to six games -recording nine points (1G, 8A). while also on a three-game multi point streak. Christian Humphreys is also riding a three-game multi point streak adding a pair of assists in the game tonight. Turning aside 29/30 shot attempts, Christian Kirsch was stellar again in the Ranger net earning his seventh victory of the campaign, increasing his stats to a 2.22 goals against average and 0.913 save percentage.
