Guelph, ON - It was another thrilling edition of the Highway 7 rivalry in which Kitchener is now a perfect 4-0-0-0 to start the season. Trent Swick recorded his 50th goal of his OHL career with his 12th of the season and Cameron Reid, fresh off the CHL USA Prospects Game, scored the game winner in overtime. Jackson Parsons earned his 14th win of the season stopping 27/29 shots against.

Guelph jumped out to a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes of play. Carter Stevens and Daniil Skvortsov were the goal scorers for the hosts. Kitchener flipped the score in the middle frame scoring twice to even the score through 40 minutes of play. Trent Swick got the Rangers on the board first with a snipe from the slot and Justin Bottineau got the second cleaning up a loose rebound. In the overtime period, Cameron Reid broke up a Guelph 2-on-1 chance and immediately transitioned for a 2-on-1 break the other way. Jack Pridham feathered a pass over to Reid who made no mistake securing all two points for the Blueshirts.
