HEAD-TO-HEAD

Tonight, the Rangers host the Battalion for the first-and-only time this season. The two teams met twice last year, with Kitchener winning both games. In their last matchup on March 14th, the Rangers scored six unanswered goals to earn a 6-0 victory. Christian Humphreys opened the scoring while Tanner Lam made a huge impact in the third period, scoring three times to record a hat trick. Alexander Bilecki and Jack Pridham also added tallies of their own, securing a decisive win for the Blueshirts. Over the past five seasons, the Rangers have owned the series, taking all six meetings with the Battalion and boasting a 6-0-0-0 record.

SCOUTING THE RANGERS (8-3-2-0)

The Rangers have moved up to third place in the Western Conference standings after claiming a point last night in Barrie. Luca Romano stole the spotlight, opening the scoring and adding helpers on two others. Christian Humphreys (5G, 11A) recorded another multi-point game and now has five points in his last two games. Humphreys now leads the team in points with 16.

Christian Kirsch is tied for the second most wins in the OHL for all goaltenders with six and has the fifth best goals against average at 2.38. He will look to continue his strong play on home ice after turning aside 15/16 shots on Friday night against the Firebirds.

Drafted Rangers:

Among eight players drafted to the NHL, four were selected in the 2025 NHL Draft: Matthew Hlacar (Toronto Maple Leafs), Andrew MacNiel (Montreal Canadians), Cameron Reid (Nashville Predators), and Luca Romano (New York Islanders). The other four players were taken in 2024: Luke Ellinas (Ottawa Senators), Christian Humphreys (Colorado Avalanche), Christian Kirsch (San Jose Sharks), and Jack Pridham (Chicago Blackhawks).

SCOUTING THE BATTALION (7-6-0-0)

The North Bay Battalion are off to a strong start this season, currently sitting fifth in the Eastern Conference with seven wins through 13 games. Most recently, the Battalion faced the Brampton Steelheads on October 25th, dropping the contest by a score of 2-1. Cam Warren scored North Bay's lone goal in the second period after Brampton had taken a two-goal lead. Warren (3G, 8A) sits tied with Ryder Cali (7G, 4A) for the team lead with 11 points, trailing Cali in goals. Both players are newcomers to the Battalion, playing in their OHL rookie campaigns this season. Cam Warren was the sixth overall pick in the 2025 OHL Priority Draft out of the Toronto Jr. Canadiens U16 AAA program.

Drafted Battalion:

The Battalion have three NHL prospects on their roster: Shamar Moses (Florida Panthers) and Lirim Amidovski (Minnesota Wild), both selected in 2025, and Ethan Procyszyn (Anaheim Ducks), drafted in 2024.
