Head-to-Head:
Owen Sound won this season’s opening battle between the two clubs by a score of 4-3 on October 1st, 2022. The Rangers still hold the advantage over the Attack across the last three seasons posting a 13-10-3-1 record dating back to the start of the 2018-19 campaign. Their best span was during that 2018-19 season when the Rangers recorded a 6-2-0-0 showing in eight games and winning all four on home ice at The Aud.
Scouting the Rangers:
Defenceman Simon Motew is off to a hot start leading all defencemen on the Rangers roster with 4 points (1G, 3A) in as many games. Simon’s 4 points is all good for a tie in 9th overall for points by defencemen thus far. Francesco Pinelli (Los Angeles Kings) and Matthew Sop still lead the forward group with 5 points each.
Tomas Hamara (Ottawa Senators), Francesco Pinelli (Los Angeles Kings) and Roman Schmidt (Tampa Bay Lightning) are three Kitchener skaters that are both drafted and signed by their NHL clubs respectively.
Scouting the Attack:
There seems to be a pattern when these teams meet in that Forwards Ethan Burroughs and Deni Goure are on the scoresheet. In the last meeting at The Aud (Feb 25th, 2022), Burroughs and Goure both recorded two points (1G, 1A). They would each replicate that stat line in the season’s first meeting between the two clubs. Players Sam Sedley, Servac Petrovsky (Minnesota Wild) also recording points in both of those matchups.
The Attack have three returning NHL Draftees on the roster this season, all being forwards. Cedrick Guindon (Montreal Canadiens), Kaleb Lawrence (Los Angeles Kings) and Servac Petrovksy (Minnesota Wild).
Rangers partner with Sun Life for Helmet Decal:
