Kitchener Rangers at Guelph Storm.

The Kitchener Rangers scored the opener against Guelph on Sunday but the wheels fell off the bus shortly after that as the Storm cruised to an 8-1 victory at home on Sunday.

Rangers forward Alexey Lipanov put the puck behind Storm netminder Anthony Popovich on a power play at the 5:21 mark to put Kitchener in front.

Keegan Stevenson answered exactly three minutes later for Guelph to even the score.
