The Calgary Wranglers will hit the ice for their first game action this evening — although, unfortunately, you won’t be able to watch it live.

With their season opener scheduled for Oct. 11, the Wranglers will play a tune-up exhibition game tonight against the University of Calgary Dinos men’s team at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

Opening puck-drop is slated for 6:00 p.m. MT. The game is open to the media only and it doesn’t look like it’ll be broadcast on AHL TV, but we’ll let you know if the Wranglers or Dinos elect to stream it some other way.

We also don’t yet know what the lineups for either team will look like, although we can tell you who’s still left at Wranglers camp (and who skated for the Dinos in their most recent game).

The Wranglers held an optional skate this morning — notably, neither Matthew Phillips nor Brett Sutter participated. As such, we won’t have much information about lines and pairings until warm-ups.

After the skate, Wranglers head coach Mitch Love confirmed Dustin Wolf and Oscar Dansk will split duties in the crease tonight.

Forwards: Clark Bishop, Walker Duehr, Alex Gallant, Ben Jones, Rory Kerins, Adam Klapka, Mitch McLain, Ilya Nikolaev, Jakob Pelletier, Matthew Phillips, Cole Schwindt, Brett Sutter, Connor Zary, Radim Zohorna

Defencemen: Josh Brook, Nick DeSimone, Dennis Gilbert, Yan Kuznetsov, Simon Lavigne, Jeremie Poirier, Colton Poolman, Rhett Rhinehart, Ilya Solovyov

Goaltenders: Daniil Chechelev, Oscar Dansk, Dustin Wolf (Dansk and Wolf confirmed to play)

Injured: Emilio Pettersen, Martin Pospisil

We’ve asked the Dinos to provide us with the lines and pairings they used in their 5–2 victory over the University of Saskatchewan Huskies on Saturday. We’ll update this section once we receive them.
