Sudbury, ON - The Rangers returned from the holiday break with an overtime victory against the Sudbury Wolves, Sunday afternoon. Haeden Ellis recorded his second goal in as many games and is now up to four points (2G 2A) on the season. The newly committed, Adrian Misaljevic (Clarkson University) recorded the overtime winner on the power play to earn all two points for Kitchener and Jackson Parsons turned in another stellar performance making 32 saves earning the games first star.

Sudbury scored first just 1:27 into the game, but Haeden Ellis and the Rangers didn't let that lead last long scoring just over a minute later to tie the game at 1-1. That would be the only scoring until the third period. Luke Ellinas found the back of the net 23 seconds into the period for his 16th goal of the season. Sudbury responded with a power play goal later in the frame which forced the overtime period. With a power play opportunity in overtime, Adrian Misaljevic made no mistake with a one-timer from the right face-off circle to secure the victory.
