OHL Roundup: Rangers extend win streak to five games with win over Greyhounds

By The Canadian Press on November 12, 2023.

KITCHENER, Ont. – Trent Swick had two goals and one assist in leading the Kitchener Rangers to their fifth straight win, 5-3 over the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds on Sunday.

Filip Mesar, with one goal and two assists, Antonino Pugliese and Carson Rehkopf also scored for Kitchener (14-5-0), which sits atop the Western Conference. Jackson Parsons made 32 saves.

Justin Cloutier scored twice, with Owen Allard adding the other for Sault Ste. Marie (12-7-0), which is right behind Kitchener in the West. Charlie Schenkel stopped 17-of-22 shots.

Swick’s second of the game, shortly followed by Mesar’s, early in the third period put the Rangers ahead 5-1.

The Greyhounds, however, attempted a comeback with Cloutier netting a short-handed marker midway through the frame, and Allard adding another with three minutes left.

But Sault Ste. Marie ultimately fell short.
