Have a game, Rory Kerins!
Trailing 1-0 early in the game against Coachella Valley Wednesday night, Kerins scored three straight to give the Wranglers a 3-1 victory.
Max Lajoie opened the night up with a powerplay goal for the Firebirds, but Kerins clapped back quickly with not just one, but two goals back-to-back.
Kerins first goal came after Firebirds goaltender Ales Stezka held onto the puck for too long and gave it away under pressure behind the net.
Dryden Hunt gained control of the puck, and passed it to Kerins in the slot.

Kerins scored his second goal nearly a minute after his first by tipping in a shot from Martin Frk. The goal was reviewed to see if it was a high stick but was upheld.
Are we seeing double 👀
