Barrie, ON - The Rangers put on a strong defensive display Saturday night limiting Barrie to one goal on just 23 shots. Christian Humphreys recorded his first career OHL goal to open the scoring, and Chris Grisolia made his return to the team that drafted him back in 2021.

Christian Humphreys was the benefactor of a fortuitous bounce off the skate of a Barrie defender to give Kitchener a first period lead. Cameron Reid doubled that lead late in the second period on a slot shot. Kashawn Aitcheson of the Colts responded a minute later to cut the deficit in half. With two unanswered goals in the third period - scored by Luca Romano and Jack Pridham, Kitchener skated away with a 4-1 victory.
