Erie Otters 4, Kitchener Rangers 2 - End of 2nd period

20:00 left -- The Otters begin the period on the power play. They end the man advantage without a goal. Moments later, Rangers goaltender Parker Van Buskirk robbed Andrew Yogan in front.
Meanwhile, more than 2,700 miles away in Port Alberni, British Columbia, Otters rookie Greg McKegg and Team Ontario holds a 6-2 lead over Team West in the semifinals of the 2009 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. McKegg doesn't have a point, however.
13:55 left -- Jones continued to make up for lost time, as his second goal of the game - a tip-in of rookie Mike Cazzola's shot - handed the Otters a 3-0 lead. In contrast, Jones entered the game without a goal since Nov. 22 against London.
10:44 left -- Kitchener finally gets on the scoreboard, as Scott Timmins' rebound shot over Otters goaltender Shane Owen - his 25th goal of the season - moved the Rangers within 3-1. Jason Akeson and Chris MacKinnon assisted on the goal. Zack Torquato and Biggers assisted on the goal.
By the way, Team West also has begun to rally against Ontario. West now trails 6-4 in the third period.
6:13 left -- Timmins, Akeson and MacKinnon - the Rangers' top three offensive performers struck again, as Akeson's 11th goal of the season sliced the Otters' lead to 3-2. However, Kingston defenseman Erik Gudbranson's goal with 6:51 left in the third has extended Ontario's lead to 7-4 over the West.
1:00 left -- Myles Barbieri's slashing penalty hands the Otters their third power play. Forty-five seconds later, Luke Gazdic scores a huge goal to regain the Otters' two-goal lead at 4-2.
