9/29 Recap: Baptiste pounces late

In Sunday play, Nick Baptiste scored with three seconds left in regulation to force extra time, but Sudbury was defeated by Mississauga 5-4 for their second-straight overtime loss. The last second lamplighter comes on the heels of Baptiste’s Saturday night heroics that saw him force overtime with five ticks left on the clock. The three-goal weekend gives Baptiste five points (4+1) through his first four games heading into Friday’s tilt versus Peterborough.

Justin Bailey finished with a minus-two rating as Kitchener got past Oshawa 5-3. Dallas prospect Radek Faksa notched a hat trick to guide the Rangers to the victory. Next up for Kitchener is a Friday night meeting with Sarnia.
