team is always a good matchup for the Rangers and this
time would be no different. This would be the last regular

thorn in the side of the Ranger team all season. The Terriers
took the lead 1-0 with three minutes into the 1st period
despite four penalties. The Rangers couldn’t connect
on their power plays and went into the 2nd period down
1-0. Four minutes into the 2nd, Brian Chambers scored

The Little Rangers play a home game today
versus the Providence Capitals. The Capitals always play
the Rangers tough and with the Rangers having a short

goaltending tandem, James Reardon and Tommy Wallace. Both
goalies played a stellar game, turning away over 30 shots
on goal. Coming into the 2nd period, the Caps lead 1-0
but with 10 minutes left, Luke Sideropoulos tied the game

were excited to drop the puck. The Rangers tallied 3 times
in the first period with goals from Cam Sullivan, Bobby
Leone, and Brian Chambers. In the 2nd period the Terriers
