Owen Sound, ON - The Kitchener Rangers erase a three-goal third period deficit to force overtime but surrender a power play goal in the extra frame to fall 5-4 to the Owen Sound Attack. The Rangers win streak ends at ten, but their resilient effort to force overtime extended their point streak to 16 games and have not lost in regulation since September.

The game was tied 1-1 after the opening 20 minutes of play. Owen Sound scored three unanswered goals in the second period to take a 4-1 lead into the second break. When it seemed, the Rangers point streak would be in jeopardy, the Rangers responded with three unanswered of their own. Luca Romano added his second while Trent Swick scored with 58 seconds left on the clock and the goaltender pulled for the extra attacker to knot the game at four. Owen Sound capitalized on a power play opportunity in the extra frame to take the extra point.

Alexander Bilecki recorded his first career OHL point with an assist on Kitchener's first goal of the game. He would also add to that tally picking up a primary assist on Luca Romano's second goal of the game. Luca Romano (6), Jakub Chromiak (5), Andrew Vermeulen (5), and Trent Swick (4) all extended their active point streaks in the game.
