HEAD-TO-HEAD

The Rangers will face the Attack eight times this year, the same as last season. Tonight marks the first regular season showdown between the two teams. The Rangers play the Attack next Friday, then won't meet again until December before squaring off three times in January and twice more in March. Since 2020, the teams have played 34 games, with the Rangers holding the edge at a standout 19-10-4-1 record. In the 2024-25 season, the Rangers once again proved their strong play, winning six of eight games and holding a remarkable 6-0-1-1 record.

SCOUTING THE RANGERS (3-0-0-0)

After a thrilling Friday night in Kitchener, the Rangers defeated the Erie Otters 5-2. The first period saw Kitchener go scoreless while Erie netted just one goal. The Rangers tied the score in the second period, with Haeden Ellis opening the scoring. In the third, Luca Romano (1), Jack Pridham (1) and Tanner Lam (2) all scored, stretching the lead and putting the game out of reach. Just 30 seconds after Romano's goal, Erie added their second, but it wasn't enough to move ahead.

Kitchener is off to a perfect start this year, winning all three of their games. Tonight, the Rangers look to keep up their momentum and maintain the pace they've set so far this season.

Drafted Rangers:

Among eight players drafted to the NHL, four were selected in the 2025 NHL Draft: Matthew Hlacar (Toronto Maple Leafs), Andrew MacNiel (Montreal Canadians), Cameron Reid (Nashville Predators), and Luca Romano (New York Islanders).
