Predators 1st-rounder Cameron Reid helps Kitchener beat Everett 6-2 in Memorial
Cup
KELOWNA, British Columbia (AP) --- Kitchener captain Cameron Reid opened the
scoring and assisted on all three goals in a deciding surge, helping the
Rangers beat the Everett Silvertips 6-2 on Monday night in the Memorial Cup.
Ontario Hockey League champion Kitchener improved to 2-0 to wrap up a semifinal
spot and a chance to advance straight to the final in the four-team tournament.
Christian Kirsch made 38 saves after backstopping the Rangers to a 5-0 victory
over host Kelowna on Friday night in their opener. The Quinnipiac
University-bound Kirsch was drafted by San Jose.
Kitchener will close round-robin play Tuesday night against Quebec Maritimes
Junior Hockey League champion Chicoutimi. In the final round-robin game,
Western Hockey League champion Everett will face Kelowna on Wednesday night.
Reid, the star defenseman drafted 21st overall by Nashville last summer, opened
the scoring at 3:05 of the first period on a shot from the left boards. After
Everett tied it at 2 in the second, Reid assisted on goals by Christian
Humphreys, Gabriel Chiarot and Jack Pridham in a 4:37 span in the period for a
5-2 advantage.
Pridham also had a power-play goal in the first. Cameron Arquette scored in the
third.
Rylan Gould had a goal and an assist for Everertt. Matias Vanhanen also scored,
and Anders Miller stopped 22 shots. The Silvertips beat Chicoutimi 5-3 on
Saturday night.
The Seattle-area team is trying to become the fourth U.S. franchise to win the
event, following the Portland Winterhawks in 1983 and 1998, Spokane Chiefs in
1991 and 2008 and Saginaw Spirit in 2024.
Kitchener's Andrew MacNiel fought Jaxsin Vaughan in the second period during
the three-goal burst.
