Wranglers extend winning streak to six with 3-1 triumph over Reign
Jakob Pelletier scored twice including the game-winner and Kevin Rooney added his first as the Calgary Wranglers defeated the Ontario Reign Saturday night 3-1.
The victory extended the Wranglers' latest win streak to six games, leaving them atop the AHL's western conference with a 21-7-1 record.
Dustin Wolf made 33 saves, registering his 18th win of the season. That included a busy first period, where Wolf turned aside 13 shots.
In the second, Pelletier scored twice on the power play. Alex Turcotte answered back for the Reign halfway through the third, before Rooney's empty-netter sealed the deal for the Wranglers.
Wrangler captain Brett Sutter wasn't in the lineup Saturday, but received a warm round of applause from fans in recognition of the six years he spent with the Reign.
The Wranglers return home to take on Abbotsford Monday in a New Year's special at 7 p.m. Every kid's ticket will be $2.23 plus applicable fees and taxes when you buy an adult ticket.
