Windsor, Ont. (Interstat) — The Windsor Spitfires and Kitchener Rangers renew their Ontario Hockey League playoff series Monday night at WFCU Centre, with the home team looking to even the best-of-seven matchup after dropping a 4-3 overtime decision Friday in Kitchener.

Game 2 is set for 7 p.m. The Spitfires (52-25) hold a slight edge in the season series, having won three of six meetings, but Kitchener (56-22) claimed the most recent two — both in overtime. Windsor’s lone home victory against the Rangers came March 8, a 5-2 decision.

For Kitchener, forward Sam O’Reilly has been a postseason catalyst. The center posted a goal and an assist Friday against Windsor, extending a hot stretch in which he has recorded nine points in his last six games, including three goals and two assists in a 5-1 win over Sault Ste. Marie on April 17.

Windsor counters with left wing Nathan Villeneuve, who scored Friday and has compiled 10 points over his last nine games. Villeneuve has been physical, racking up 13 penalty minutes in that span.

The Rangers’ depth showed in Game 1: Christian Humphreys had three assists and Andrew Vermeulen added one. Windsor got goals from Jack Nesbitt and Anthony Cristoforo in the loss.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 5-4 final in favor of the Spitfires.

The series continues Wednesday in Windsor before shifting back to Kitchener on Friday.
