Kitchener Rangers News Release

Kitchener, Ont. - Kitchener needed some more late game heroics, this time coming from Christian Humphreys with 44 seconds on the clock to extend the game to overtime. Both new forward editions, Dylan Edwards and Gabriel Chiarot factored in with an assist on the play.

The Rangers came close on a couple occasions in the overtime frame, but ultimately Arvin Jaswal was up to the task. The shootout took six round before Carter Lowe scored the game winner for the Colts leaving Kitchener with a solo point from the game.
