After reeling off nine straight victories, the Rangers would appear to have gone into somewhat of a funk. After a pair of weekend losses on home ice, the Rangers dropped a third straight decision in Kingston. Worse yet the team suffered it's third shutout loss. Not really for lack of effort, the Rangers were outshooting the Frontenacs by a wild 22-5 margin midway through the second period and held a 2-1 shooting advantage through most of the game until the Frontenacs got their insurance marker in the third period, fortunes nor bounces were with the Rangers. What did accompany them to Kingston was a newly formed losing string along with several hundred Rangers' fans many of which arrived on three full Great Canadian busloads that departed from Kitchener earlier in the day and will follow the Rangers into Belleville and Ottawa, whom the Rangers are playing later this weekend. Probably the strongest road support that the Rangers have enjoyed in Kingston since joining the OHL.

Little love from the Frontenacs, Kingston had a Valentines date with the Ottawa 67's, thrashing their division rivals 10-4, the Petes were next on the menu as the Frontenacs went into Peterborough the night before their home matchup with the Rangers and snuck out with a 4-2 win (including an empty net clincher), no mistake about it the Frontenacs are red hot, and the reason is none other than former Guelph Storm netminder: Danny Taylor. Taylor was first star in both the Kington victories over the Peterborough Petes and Kitchener Rangers, the two highest ranked OHL teams in Canada's CHL top 10, and 1st and 3rd overall respectively in the OHL. Kingtson with the 10-4 blowout win has shown they are capable of winning g both the lower and higher scoring matchupes. The Rangers got off to a quick start in this matchup with a couple of early powerplays, but failing to generate much in the way of quality scoring chances. Kingston's power play struggled even more, the Rangers tenacious penalty killers tormented the Frontenacs at times and over the 5 Frontenac power plays during the night, the Frontenacs failed to get any shots on goal aside from clear ins.
 

The Frontenacs would break the ice late in the first period, defender: Andrew Kizito and Bobby Hughes left the zone on a two on one and after getting the Rangers defense all tangled up, Kizito got the puck to Hughes who was directly infront and he wristed the puck past Turple who simply tried to throw as much of his body as possible infront of the shot. The Rangers kept the Frontenacs off of the shot clock in the first period and they did it again to start the second period, aiding the team to a 41 to 22 advantage overall, Taylor was controlling his rebounds and at times it appeared as if the Rangers were getting frustrated. First Mike Duco drew defender Ben Shutron into a fight, and scored a victory along with damaging Shutron's jersey to the point where he was forced to wear a blank backed #13 jersey through the remainder of the game. Minutes later a bout that many anticipated in Kitchener finally came to being as Boris Valabik drew Chris Stewart into a fight. Valabik and the big Kingston power forward squared off, but the Kitchener heavyweight who enjoyed a lengthy reach advantage and landed over twice as many blows to Stewart's head, but none came close to downing the younger brother of former Frontenac star: Anthony Stewart.

The Rangers really had their best chances in the third period at both getting back in the game and snapping the shutout. The Rangers had several chances, and managed to knock pucks off of the post behind Taylor and everywhere but in the net as they struggled to score. Evan McGrath who was named the game's third star really had a strong effort, and seemed to be everywhere while on the ice, the remainder of the lineup seemingly could not get their act together and struggled at times. The power play was 0 for 7 and really struggled with the fact that their pointmen were unable to get pucks through from the middle of the goal line most were either blocked or redirected wide prior to arriving at the goaltender. Immediately after a power play late in the third where the Rangers had some glorious chances to tie the game, the Frontenacs broke out against the tired Rangers. Radek Smolenak who emerged from the box was in the zone deep with Todd Griffith, the two combined for several empty net chances before finally putting the puck past Turple who was lying on the ice down and out. The Rangers would remove their netminder to create some more chances while down 2-0, and Matt Lashoff would make an impressive save during that time, but they were unable to break Danny Taylor shutout. After a third period meltdown against the Knights in Kitchener, the Rangers have now been outscored 6-0 in their last 4 periods of play.
