With their second eight-goal performance of the weekend, the Panthers received scoring from seven different players in an impressive 8-2 victory over the Rangers. Ryder Dagenais led the way with two goals, his 10th and 11th of the season. Single tallies came from Peter Smith (13th), Jake Mallory (8th), Kyle Secko (3rd), Angelo Protopapas (6th), Matt Indovina (19th), and Evan Elliott (5th).

Pickering jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the first period and carried a comfortable 6-2 advantage into the second intermission. Frustration boiled over in the third, resulting in a parade to the penalty box for both teams. Indovina continued his outstanding run since joining the Panthers and now leads the club in scoring with 12 goals and 13 assists in 13 games.

Daniel Giusti was steady in goal, stopping 32 shots to earn his 11th win of the season. With the result, Pickering has now posted nine wins in its last ten games since November 29.
