Spitfires Strike Back, Tie Series 2-2

0:00It's April 28th, I'm Corey with the story. This is NHL News today, driven by AI and Bill for fans. The Windsor Spitfires fired back in Game 3 of their Ontario Hockey League Western Conference Playoff series, beating the Kitchener Rangers, 4-2 at home. That cuts the Rangers lead to two games to one after they took the first two on the road. Spitfires coach Greg Walters has preached depth scoring all season, and it paid off big time. Guys like Gake of Fiebiger, Alex Farand, Andrew Robinson, and Ethan Garden, all chipped in goals, showing every line can contribute against the Rangers team. That's one six straight playoff games against them dating back last year. Fans and players are buzzing about Farand, stepping up as a gritty roll guy. The 21-year-old veteran from Sudbury scored early to build a two-go lead and brought physical play that every deep playoff run needs. He's adapted well since joining Windsor midseason, embracing the grind over glory.

1:01Coach has called it a tight-checking chess match, with strong goalies Joey Costanzo and Christian Kirsch keeping it low scoring. Rangers bench-boss Jesse Ahokas admitted they lacked execution on breakouts and chances, but stress is just one loss in the battle. Game 4 hits Windsor Wednesday at 7-0-5 pm, back in Windsor, then Game 5. Friday night in Kitchener, Spitfires need to keep the momentum rolling. To flip this series.
