Kitchener, ON - After being held to two goals on 29 shots, the Rangers scored four unanswered in the third period to earn a 6-1 victory over their Highway 7 rival, Guelph Storm. There were many highlight reel goals in this one, but none like the successful Michigan attempt by Jack Pridham bringing the fans to their feet. Luke Ellinas scored in his return to the Rangers line-up getting the Rangers on the board. The Rangers top line of Swick-Humphreys-Pridham has combined for 11 points in the last two games. Jackson Parsons stopped all but one Guelph attempt, making 26 saves on his way to earning his 34th win of the season.

It was the Storm who scored first capitalizing on their lone power play opportunity. Charlie Paquette got his 28th of the season for Guelph to give the Storm a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes of play. Christian Humphreys matched Guelph's power play marker with one of his own to even the game at 1-1. Luke Ellinas then gave Kitchener the lead and a 2-1 advantage through 40 minutes. Jack Pridham scored twice in the opening 5 minutes of the third period, including his Michigan goal along with Haeden Ellis and Matthew Andonovski to cap off six unanswered goals by the East Avenue Blue.
