Plymouth Whalers News Release


PLYMOUTH - Connor Chatham's unassisted goal at 3:41 of overtime snapped a 3-3 tie and gave the Plymouth Whalers a 4-3 overtime victory over the Kitchener Rangers in an Ontario Hockey league game played Saturday night at Compuware Arena.

A sellout out crowd of 3,577 saw the Whalers win their second game in a row to improve to 8-9-1-0. Kitchener is now 9-3-1-3.

Besides scoring his sixth goal of the year as the game-winner, Chatham also drew an assist on Bryce Yetman's fourth goal of the season. Matt Mistele scored a pair of first period goals for the Whalers (team leading 13th and 14th of the year). Sonny Milano recorded a pair of assists for the Whalers.

After Mistele staked Plymouth to a 2-0 lead after one period, the Rangers replied to tie the game at 2-2 in the second period on goals by Nick Magyar (sixth) and Brent Pederson (fifth).

Yetman gave the Whalers a 3-2 lead at 14:02 of the third period, but Gustav Franzen tied the game for Rangers at 16:14.

That set the stage for Chatham's game-winner.

Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 29-of-32 shots for Plymouth, while Dawson Carty stopped 30-of-34 shots for Kitchener.

Plymouth plays in Kitchener next Friday before returning home next Saturday to face Sault Ste. Marie at 7:05 pm at Compuware Arena.
