It was Owen Sound that jumped out to an early 2-0 first period lead in this game with goals by Declan Waddick and Jake Crawford. Adrian Misaljevic's second of the season cut the deficit in half before heading into the first intermission. That goal would start a run of three unanswered goals by the Rangers earning them a come-from-behind win.

Luca Romano potted his second goal of the season to tie the game for the only action in the middle frame and Antonino Pugliese sent Kitchener home with two points scoring with just over three minutes left in regulation. Jason Schaubel earned his first career OHL victory in his first OHL start stopping 25-of-27 shots.
