It’s not a Wranglers game without a comeback, and Thursday night’s matchup against the San Diego Gulls in the Scotiabank Saddledome was no exception.
Matt Coronato led the charge with two goals for the Wranglers, Ilya Solovyov firing a missile from a faceoff, and Clark Bishop scoring the game-winning goal, yet again, in a 4-3 victory.
Gulls defenseman Tyson Hinds opened the scoring in the game, but as has become customary for the Wranglers, the response was swift.
Coronato finished off a beautiful tic-tac-toe play with Dryden Hunt and Sam Morton, tying the game up.

But Jan Mysak leveled the game at 3-3 with just 9:30 remaining in the third period.
And who would deliver the decisive goal of the game? None other than Bishop, the game’s hero.
