The Calgary Wranglers and Abbotsford Canucks played another low scoring game for the second night in a row. The difference this time, was Ivan Prosvetov didn’t quite pull off another shutout and this game would need to go to a shootout to be decided. With a third period marker from Daniil Miromanov and a shootout game winner from Matvei Gridin, the Wranglers won 2-1 and swept the Canucks this week. 

Lineup notes

After Alex Gallant went after Canucks captain Chase Wouters on Tuesday for a dangerous hit on Sam Morton, he was listed on the suspension list today for a three game consequential suspension. Including this, head coach Brett Sutter made four changes to the lineup between Tuesday and Wednesday.
No Alex Gallant, then Lucas Ciona, Carter King and Etienne Morin came out of the lineup. Coming in were Andrew Basha, David Silye, Artem Grushnikov and Jeremie Poirier. Calgary went with 11 forwards and seven defenders for this game.

Game at a glance

The Wranglers coaching staff was feeling confident in Ivan Prosvetov after his shutout on Tuesday night and opted to start him again for this back to back. On Abbotsford’s end, they went with Jiri Patera between the pipes. The opening frame was quite even with an early push from Abbotsford before they took the first penalty of the game. This came and went and by the time Calgary took their first penalty, the Canucks generated enough to score the opening goal off a power play slap shot on Prosvetov’s glove side. 
That lead held for the rest of the period and by the end of the first, the Canucks were ahead 1-0 and shots were an even 7-7. In the second, there was only one shot on goal in the first half of the period. It felt very much like the back half of the first period, with a sway back and forth in the neutral zone without either side really able to set up anything. 
At 11:33, the Canucks were tagged for hooking and Calgary had a very strong power play that at one point had their opposing goalie without a stick. They peppered him, and the Patera turned them all away. Patera’s biggest save of the game so far came in the last three and a half minutes of the period when Sam Morton appeared to have an almost guaranteed one-timer goal that was robbed.
The second frame ended the same as the first, with the Canucks up 1-0, even with a swayed period in shots for Calgary being up 9-2. In the third, Abbotsford had most of the early zone time trying to secure an insurance goal. When the Wranglers got momentum back, Daniil Miromanov scored his first goal of the season at 7:38. David Silye and Matvei Gridin assisted. 
The rest of the third had pockets of opportunity for both teams, but nothing that would secure a win in regulation. At the end of 60 minutes of play, the Wranglers and Canucks were deadlocked at one. Shots in the third period were 14-9 Abbotsford. 
In overtime, the Wranglers lead the charge with Martin Frk and Matvei Gridin getting a couple of looks. The best chance Abbotsford had to win it was in the dying seconds of the frame. Overtime didn’t bring out a winner, so they went to a shootout. Calgary had a 5-3 edge in shots in the extra frame. 
Calgary went with Jeremie Poirier, William Stromgren and Matvei Gridin for their shooters and Ivan Prosvetov stopped all three Canucks skaters. Poirier and Stromgren were denied on their attempts and Gridin secured the win with a release we’ve seen him undress NHL goaltenders with already. 
There was a home preference in the three-star voting, so the only one on the three stars was Ivan Prosvetov for his impressive night between the pipes, only letting one puck past him. Calgary finished up with the 2-1 shootout win and a 30-26 edge in shots.
