Kitchener, ON - Rangers put seven goals past the Spitfires on route to a 7-4 victory on our International Women's Day game night. Kitchener scored five times in the third period, twice on the power play and once into an empty Windsor goal to seal the victory. With two goals in the game, Adrian Misaljevic is now just one goal shy of the 30-goal mark. Jackson Parsons turned away 39 shots earning his 35th victory of the season.

Kitchener got the games first two goals, but Noah Morneau and Windsor would respond with two unanswered of their own to send the game tied into the third period. The teams combined for seven third period goals making it an eventful final frame. Adrian Misaljevic restored the Ranger lead before Liam Greentree scored the equalizer. After a Luca Romano power play goal and Andrew Vermeulen strike, Kitchener was able to keep the Spitfires from tying the game. Noah Morneau completed his hat-trick to bring Windsor within one with 3:52 to play in regulation, but Jack Pridham and Luca Romano put any idea of a comeback to rest securing the victory for the Rangers.
