The Wranglers are on the road to face the Bakersfield Condors at Mechanics Bank Arena on Friday night.
Having clinched a playoff spot on Mar.30, the Wranglers are now looking to track down home-ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs, with just six games remaining in the regular season.

WRANGLERS UPCOMING SCHEDULE:
| DATE | TIME (MST) | OPPONENT | VENUE |
| Apr.5, 2024 | 8:00pm | @ Bakersfield | Mechanics Bank Arena |
| Apr.6, 2024 | 8:00pm | @ Bakersfield | Mechanics Bank Arena |
Head-2-Head:
Calgary currently sits in seventh in the Pacific Division with a record of 34-24-5-3 and 76 points, while Bakersfield also has 76 pts. and sits in sixth place with a 36-25-2-2 record.
Just three points separate the Wranglers, Condors and the top three seed (Tucson – 79 pts.) meaning home ice advantage is still possible for both teams heading into this weekend series.
Heading into their final meeting of the season – a two-game set this weekend – both teams have split the season series with three wins apiece (3-3) in six games so far.
Bakersfield won the previous meeting 3-2 back on March 20 at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
