Windsor, ON - The Rangers rallied to defeat the Windsor Spitfires 3-2 in a shootout on the day they learned head coach Jussi Ahokas would be away from the team. Trent Swick was the lone goal scorer in the shootout and Jackson Parsons stopped 33 of 35 shots along with all three shootout attempts that came his way.

Tanner Lam opened the scoring in the first period before Windsor countered with two unanswered goals by Ethan Martin and Ilya Protas. Windsor carried a one goal lead until Jack Pridham leveled the game midway through the middle frame. No score in the third period meant overtime was needed. The teams traded chances, but no winner was found. Trent Swick was the lone goal scorer in the shootout with Parsons shutting the door on Windsor.
