The Calgary Wranglers hosted the Colorado Eagles for Friday afternoon hockey, but it turned into a power play clinic for the visitors. Colorado lit the lamp six times, five on the main advantage, while Calgary scraped together three goals. Eagles took its six to three, staying hot as Pacific Division leaders. Wranglers welcome back Martin Farck and Carter Wilkie, rolling with 12 forwards and eight defensemen. They mounted a push in the second period, cutting the lead to two with tallies from Clark Bishop, Sam Morton, and Turner Oton Brighton. But penalties kept piling up, handing Colorado prime chances. Fans saw some fire too, like Nick Cisek and Morose Jedlica trading slashes, and then dropping the gloves. Assisting coach David Liferton owned the special team's struggles post-game, saying it's a mix of issues that got to improve across the board. Fans were lopsided at 46-25 for the Eagles.

1:01Colorado cast in five of nine power plays, exposing Calgary's penalty kill woes. Standouts included, Gavin White with two assists, and Idar Suniv chipping in two helpers. Wranglers showed grit, but couldn't flip the script. They get a quick turnaround Sunday, hosting the Eagles again at 1pm mountain time. Expect penalties to decide if Calgary evens the score.
