On Friday, the EHLP squad traveled up to Burlington to start a three-game series with the Lumberjacks. Before the weekend started, the Rangers trailed the Lumberjacks by two points in the North Conference standings, with a game in hand. Heading into the weekend, the Rangers had also already beaten the Lumberjacks by the score of 5-1 earlier in the season. Recently named EHLP Forward of the Week, Steve Wesley, led the way with a hat-trick in the Rangers 7-3 win on Friday night. Kyle Liesener, Will Roberts, Kyle Welch, and Danila Larionovs had the Rangers other goals. Dean Kern stopped 26 shots in the win as he remains unbeaten on the season with a 9-0-0 record.

The Rangers looked for the series sweep on Sunday morning as Larionovs and Tim Rye head the Rangers up 2-0 after the 1st frame. Despite being outshot 19-6 in the 2nd period, both teams scored just two goals apiece, which made the score 4-2 in favor of the Rangers heading into the 3rd. The Lumberjacks would fight back and tie the game up at 4-4, however, Kyle Welch secured the game-winning goal for the Rangers with just over two minutes left in regulation. Bobby Mccloskey played a strong role in net, stopping 33 shots in the victory. 

One busy week leads into another, as the EHL Team will host the Total Athletic Seahawks on Thursday at 12:00pm. The boys will then turn around and play a home-and-home series with the Valley Jr. Warriors this upcoming weekend. 

The EHLP team will play their own home-and-home series with the Warriors, a team that the Rangers have already beaten in both of their two matchups so far this season.
