Kitchener, ON - The Rangers had to battled hard as they extended their win streak to nine games in front of 6,661 fans. Never trailing in the contest, Kitchener defeated the Memorial Cup Champions by a score of 4-2.

Luca Romano scored twice in the first period with a Saginaw goal sandwiched in the middle. That goal came courtesy of Carson Harmer. With eight second showings on the clock, Trent Swick recorded a power-play goal to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes of play.

The teams traded a goal each in the remaining two periods. Kitchener's fourth goal came on a strong slot finish by Andrew Vermeulen. Nic Sima scored 27 seconds into the third period for the Spirit, but that was as close as they could get.
