The Calgary Wranglers kicked off game seven of their ten game road trip on Tuesday against the Abbotsford Canucks. Their last game action was last Wednesday as they enjoyed a relaxed schedule over the American Thanksgiving weekend. Things took some time to get going in this game then the scoring exploded in the third. Calgary’s timing was impeccable and they managed to squeak by with a 3-2 win over the Canucks.

The last time the Wranglers played, Aydar Suniev was out with an illness and William Stromgren was out with a day to day lower body injury. Both of these skaters were back for this game in Abbotsford. To make space for them, Carter Wilkie and Andrew Basha came out of the lineup. On the defensive end, Jeremie Poirier came out and Simon Mack came back in.

Game at a glance

The goaltending match up for this game was Ivan Prosvetov in net for the Wranglers and Ty Young for the Canucks. The first period was played very closely with both sides getting pockets of rushes in their zones. The opening goal really could’ve gone either way but it was not found in the first.

At 16:07, Lucas Ciona was called for fighting Jujhar Khaira. At the previous whistle, Ciona was pushing and shoving a different player in front of the Canucks’ net and in the next play, Khaira got tangled up with Parker Bell and took him down. Ciona took issue with that, then they exchanged cross checks and fought along the boards.

These teams were scoreless at the end of the first and shots were 11-8 Abbotsford in the opening 20 minutes. The first half of the second period was pretty tilted towards the Canucks. It wasn’t until 7:33, when the Canucks took a hooking penalty, that the Wranglers could get a bit of a breath.

After this power play ended, the Wranglers took a holding call then a cross-checking call that put them on a 5-on-3 for 28 seconds. One penalty was killed off but before the second could be killed off, Abbotsford opened the scoring with a goal from Mackenzie MacEachern at 13:35. He caught Prosvetov shifting over and beat him glove side.

At 18:53, the Canucks took another penalty and the Wranglers finished the period on a power play that would carry over into the third period. In the middle frame, the Canucks outshot the Wranglers 18-5 and led them 1-0 on the scoreboard.

The third period started with a bit of momentum going Calgary’s way for the end of the power play. Then, at 5:02, Clark Bishop scored the Wranglers’ first of the night with a shot from the point right off the bench. Young didn’t squeeze the pads enough on this one and the puck went right through his legs. Matvei Gridin picked up the lone assist.

Next up

Calgary may be without Prosvetov for their next game as they’re right back at it against Abbotsford on Wednesday night. If Prosvetov will miss some time, they will be scrambling to try and get Arsenii Sergeev or Connor Murphy there from Rapid City or exploring EBUG options in the area. The game time is the same with an 8:00 p.m. MT puck drop.
