Rangers win in overtime again, will play London in next playoff round

For the third time and final time in this playoff series, The Kitchener Rangers have won in overtime.

For the third and final time in their playoff series with the Erie Otters, The Kitchener Rangers have won in overtime.

They resumed their first-round matchup in Erie Tuesday night, four days after Kitchener won in overtime at home.

The Rangers came out in the first period with goals from Eduard Šalé and Filip Mešár to give them a 2-1 lead heading into the second.

Trent Swick exchanged goals with Erie's Carey Terrance to keep Kitchener's lead heading into the third, but a score for the Otters in the final minutes of play sent the game into overtime once more.

It was Luke Ellinas' time to be the hero, as he scored just over five minutes into extra time. This sealed the game six win as well as the OHL Western Conference first-round playoff series victory.

Kitchener is moving on to the second round to take on the London Knights in a best-of-seven series.

Games one and two will be played in London on Apr. 11 and 13 before the series comes back to The Aud for Apr. 16 and 18.
