Kitchener Rangers chasing historic come-from-behind series win over Spitfires in Game 7

It’s winner-take-all on Tuesday night in Windsor.

The Kitchener Rangers are on the brink of making history in Game 7 of their second-round playoff series against the Windsor Spitfires. The Blueshirts have clawed their way back from a 3-0 series deficit to tie the series at 3-3 and force a deciding game.

If the Rangers can pull off a victory tonight, they’ll join a short list of OHL teams to have completed that feat.

Only five teams in the league’s history have trailed 3-0 in a playoff series and gone on to win. The Windsor Spitfires have done it twice: Once in 2005 against the Oshawa Generals and in 2010 against the Rangers.

As for Tuesday’s contest, once again, Rangers netminder and OHL Overage Player of the Year, Jackson Parsons, will play a critical role. The 20-year-old goaltender has recorded two shutouts in his last three games.
