HEAD-TO-HEAD

Game Two

In the second game of the second round, the Rangers battled their way to an 8-5 victory over the Soo Greyhounds, capitalizing on their chances in a high-scoring third period. Sam O'Reilly opened the scoring for Kitchener in the first period, and Avry Anstis doubled the lead early into the second period. Soo responded just two minutes later, but the Rangers restored their two-goal advantage shortly after to make it 3-1 on a Christian Humphreys power play goal. The Greyhounds continued to push back, scoring midway through the period and then adding another goal before the intermission to send the team tied into the break. They carried that momentum into the third, striking just over a minute in, with Quinn McKenzie giving Soo a 4-3 lead. Kitchener responded quickly, as Dylan Edwards found the back of the net on the power play to even things up. Jeremy Martin answered for the Greyhounds two minutes later, but that would be the Greyhounds' final push. The Rangers regrouped and took control of the game, erupting for four unanswered goals in the remaining eleven minutes of the third period to secure the victory and a 2-0 series lead.

SCOUTING THE RANGERS (6-0-0-0)

Dylan Edwards earned first star honours by notching his third and fourth goals of the playoffs. The Ranger forward led the charge in the third as he evened the game up shortly after Quinn McKenzie gave the Greyhounds the lead. He then scored the game winner just over ten minutes later on an tic-tac-toe with Jared Woolley and Jack Pridham.

Sam O'Reilly made a major impact in Game 2, recording the first hat-trick for the Rangers in these playoffs and the first of his OHL career. Although he trails Christian Humphreys by two points for the team lead, O'Reilly now has nine points, with eight of them being goals. Following his standout performance on Sunday, he was named the third star of the game. His eight playoffs goals has him in a tie for most in the OHL playoffs thus far alongside Nathan Aspinall (Flint) and Caleb Malhotra (Brantford).

Jack Pridham picked up another three assists in tonight's win. The most recent winner of the OHL's best over age player has recorded seven points through the first six playoff games, although he has yet to find the back of net. You can be sure that streak will end shortly for the 46-goal scorer from this past season.

Jeremy Martin also showcased his offensive abilities, matching Mignosa with two goals in the game. While he sits at seven points (4G, 3A), which is half of the team leader's total, Martin continues to contribute consistently and has recorded his fourth goal of the postseason.
