The goal, assisted by Lucas Ciona and David Silyev – who notched his first professional assist – gave the Wranglers a much-needed boost and momentum shift.
In the third period, Rory Kerins scored his eighth goal of the season, capitalizing on a beautiful tic-tac-toe play with Dryden Hunt and Jakob Pelletier.
Kerins was in perfect position at the back door, deftly redirecting the puck to tie the game at two.
