The Matchup
The Wranglers are coming off of a hot five game streak and sit 5-1-0, currently placing them second in the league and first in the Western Conference.
Their wins include two hat-tricks from Rory Kerins and Walker Duehr, and a shutout from netminder Devin Cooley.
The Colorado Eagles are placed seventh in the Western Conference, with two wins and two losses, one being from a shootout loss, earning them a marker.
Last season, the Wranglers beat the Eagles 6-2 in the series.
Players to Watch
Cooley has been a recent topic of discussion thanks to his stellar play. In his most recent game against the Bakersfield Condors, he saved 37 shots and was reliable for his team in the shootout, denying two shots and helping lead the Wranglers to victory.
