Despite heavily out-shooting Yellowhead in the first period 21-6, the Chiefs found the back of the net three times in the second frame to power themselves to a 5-2 win.
The Parkland only put 3 shots on net during the second period, and another 7 in the third. After out-shooting their opponents by more than 3-to-1 in the first period Yellowhead ultimately came out on top in the shots department as well finishing 34-31.
Yellowhead goaltender Reese Jones made a number of key stops in the first to keep his team in the game, only surrendering one goal to Reece Hopfner of the Rangers.
The Chiefs evened the score in the second, then the Parkland put themselves out in front again. Goaltender Nicholas Arp caught the Chiefs on a bad line change, firing a pass to Dustin Mozdzen at the far blue line who was sure to capitalize on the breakaway opportunity.
Yellowhead scored twice more before the second expired, one of them on the power play once again.
Then in the third period drama struck. With Rangers goaltender Quinn Munro out of the lineup for an undisclosed amount of time, Nicholas Arp fell just 0:36 into the period appearing to favour his lower-body.
Rangers coach Brad Dupasquier could not comment on the extent of Arp's injuries after the game, but did confirm that he had gone to the hospital.
The Rangers called up Zach Grouette from the Dauphin Clippers in time for the game. The former Parkland bantam Ranger stopped 8 of 9 shots sent his way.
The Chiefs also added an empty net goal before the game's conclusion.
The Rangers back in action this weekend visiting Interlake and the Winnipeg Wild.
