Kitchener ends six-game losing streak with stunning 4-3 win over Windsor

KITCHENER, Ont. - The Kitchener Rangers dumped on the top-ranked major junior club in Canada by beating the Windsor Spitfires 4-3.

The Rangers, who host the Sarnia Sting on Friday in their final game before Christmas, ended a six-game losing streak.
