The Kitchener Rangers will look to push their opponents to the edge of elimination in Michigan on Tuesday night.

The Blueshirts currently hold a 2-0 series lead over the Flint Firebirds in the first round of the OHL playoffs.

The Rangers will look to continue to dominate on the offensive side of the puck. They’ve scored 10 goals in just two games so far this series.

Rangers forward Trent Swick leads the team in offensive production after putting up six points in the first two games of the series.

If the East Avenue Blue can win on Tuesday night, they’ll have a chance to sweep their opponents with a victory on Thursday in Flint.
