The Greyhounds sit five points behind the Saginaw Spirit, who have played two fewer games, for seventh place, six points behind the Windsor Spitfires, who have one game in hand, for sixth and eight points behind the west division leading Plymouth Whalers for the conference's second seed.

In Brampton, Ryan Kitchen and Brandon MacLean, who also added an assist, scored one for the Greyhounds, who led by scores of 2-1 after one period and 3-2 after two.

Matt Smyth and Luke Lynes replied with goals for Brampton. Aaron Snow and Wojtek Wolski recorded two assists each.

Greyhound goaltender Kyle Gajewski stopped 36 of 38 shots for the win and first star honours while the Hounds fired 36 shots at the Battalion.

The Greyhounds are back in action on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Memorial Gardens to begin a six-game homestand against the Sudbury Wolves.
