Rangers’ redemption: Kitchener downs Windsor to stay alive in second round series

The Kitchener Rangers have extended their playoff run with a badly needed win against the Windsor Spitfires in Game 4. CTV’s Jeff Pickel has the highlights.

The Kitchener Rangers will live to play another day.

The Rangers returned to the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium, facing the possibility of elimination as they trailed the Windsor Spitfires 3 – 0 in their Ontario Hockey League second round playoff series.

After a scoreless first period, Luke Ellinas got the Rangers on the board.

He went on to be the hometown hero, earning a hat trick to stave off elimination with a score of 3 - 0.

Rangers netminder Jackson Parsons also got his first shutout of the post season.

The series moves back to Windsor for a Good Friday matchup. The Rangers are still in a do or die situation with the Spitfires leading the series 3 – 1.
