Windsor, Ont. - The home team remains perfect through three games of this Western Conference Final as the Windsor Spitfires handed the Kitchener Rangers just their second loss of the post-season, defeating the Blueshirts 4-2. Windsor never trailed in the game opening the scoring less than two minutes into the game on an early power play and then doubling their lead on Alex Pharand's second of the playoffs. Christian Humphreys got the Rangers on the board, cutting the deficit in half to complete the scoring in the opening frame.
No team found the back of the net in the middle frame, but just 24 seconds into the third period, Andrew Robinson restored the two-goal lead for the Spits. Cameron Arquette gave the Rangers a fighting chance, pulling Kitchener back within a goal with five minutes on the clock. However, it was Ethan Garden who sealed the victory for Windsor sliding the puck into the vacant Kitchener net.
