Peterborough, ON - It was a great start to the game for the Rangers scoring three unanswered to open the game and led 3-1 after 20 minutes of play. However, it was Peterborough that stormed back with five unanswered goals of their own - one with the goalie pulled, to knock of the East Avenue Blue by a score of 5-3.

Carson Campbell, Jack Pridham, and Andrew Vermeulen all recorded first period tallies for the Rangers with Braydon McCallum scoring one late to make it a two-goal advantage for the Rangers after 20. The Petes then recorded the only two goals of the second and third period in this game, keeping Kitchener off the score sheet and earning the victory.
