The Calgary Wranglers stopped in Bakersfield to face the Edmonton Oilers’ farm team for the fourth time this season. Calgary was looking to keep the edge in the season series and fared well in holding the lead in this game. Ben Jones got on the board five minutes into the game, then the Condors came back with a goal in the second half of the second period. The Wranglers netted two more from Carter Wilkie and Will Dineen in the third period then the Condors used a power play opportunity to pull their goalie for a six-on-four, and it earned them a goal. The Wranglers ended up sealing it with an empty netter from Rory Kerins and Calgary picked up a 4-2 win.
Lineup notes
The Wranglers opted to go with 11 forwards and seven defencemen for this game. That allowed Tyson Feist to skate in his first game as a Wrangler as the extra guy on the blue line. Kent Anderson was sent to Rapid City and Feist was called up to rotate the depth a bit. Brayden Pachal has also since been sent to the Flames to backfill their depth with the season-ending injury to Kevin Bahl. The Wranglers continue to carry three goaltenders at this point.

Game at a glance
Owen Say got the start in this game for his second start of the season. On the other end of the ice, Samuel Jonsson got the nod for the Condors. The opening minutes were mostly challenging Say but when the Wranglers took their first shot, they made it count. At 5:11, Ben Jones scored the first goal of the game. Alex Nylander forced the turnover and set up Jones to finish the play.
This got the Wranglers going and they were the ones to put more shots on net through the last three quarters of the first period. Dryden Hunt was called for interference at 19:16 so the Wranglers had a bit of penalty killing to do before the end of the period. Once the first 20 minutes were up, Calgary had a 1-0 lead and a 13-8 edge in shots.
The Wranglers started the second by killing off the rest of Hunt’s penalty but got a chance of their own on the power play shortly after. At 2:10, John Gormley was called for hooking, then Calgary got a five-on-three chance when Tucker Robertson was called for delay of game at 2:55. Dryden Hunt had the best stretch of shots in this big power play, but the score did not budge. The Condors had a few minutes to try and get some momentum back but were called for another penalty at 7:33 for hooking.
The penalties continued at 10:12 when Ben Jones was hit behind the Condors’ net awkwardly and, with no hesitation, Will Dineen went after John Gormley in a fight to stand up for his leader. They were both called for fighting, but Dineen was called for an additional minor for unsportsmanlike conduct that Alex Nylander ended up serving.
Good on Will Dineen for standing up for Ben Jones after this awkward hit along the boards
Just seconds before this Wranglers penalty kill came to a close, Bakersfield was called for too many men and Simon Tassy served that call. Once it was back to even strength, the Condors got on the board with a rebound goal from Eduards Tralmaks at 14:48. At 16:34, the Condors took another minor penalty. This time it was a high-sticking call against Riley Stillman. The Wranglers got a run of shots on this chance and beyond then by the end of the second period, it was a 1-1 game. At this point, the Wranglers were out-shooting the Condors 31-18.
The Condors had a bit of a push to start the third period but Carter Wilkie would find the go-ahead goal for his second goal of the season at 8:27. He was on the doorstep and able to poke in the loose puck. Nikita Pavlychev and Jake Livingstone picked up the assists.
Right place at the right time 🔥
This continued to tilt this game in the Wranglers’ favour and they found an insurance goal at 13:16 from Will Dineen for his first as a Wrangler. Dineen was parked in the crease and got a piece of a shot from Livingstone to redirect it past Jonsson. Tyson Gross picked up the secondary assist on this marker.
Deflection perfection ✨ Will Dineen notches his first as a Wrangler.
Just over a minute after this goal, Kyle Walker was called for tripping and the Condors used this opportunity to pull their goalie for a six-on-four. It ended up paying its dividends as, at 15:48, Eduards Tralmaks scored his second goal of the game on a five hole shot. Condors netminder Samuel Jonsson went on and off a few times in the remaining minutes of the game and at 19:13, Rory Kerins found the empty net to put this game away. Jake Livingstone also assisted on this marker for his third helper of the night.
Samuel Jonsson came in for the rest of the game and the Wranglers picked up a 4-2 win. Owen Say remains undefeated in the AHL this season so far and of the three stars, Ben Jones earned the third star and Will Dineen earned the second. Shots finished 45-29 for Calgary.
