WRANGLERS PLAYER TO WATCH: Adam Klapka
Keep an eye on No.43 on the ice tonight, and at 6-foot-7 he’s easy to spot.
Klapka has four points on a current three-game point streak and has three goals in his last two games at the Abbotsford Event Centre.
He has scored the game winning goal in back-to-back contests in Abbotsford, dating back to last season.
ONE TIMERS:
- Brady Lyle scored his first since joining the Wranglers last night in Abbotsford. Lyle had a career-best 31 points last season with the Springfield Thunderbirds and has his first point of the 2023-24 campaign.
- Clark Bishop scored his first goal of the season in the Wranglers first game and is just one point shy of 100 career AHL points. (99).
