The Wranglers were unable to overcome a dominant night from the Coachella Valley Firebirds, falling 6-1 at the Scotiabank Saddledome on March 4.
Dryden Hunt was the lone scorer for the Wranglers, capitalizing on a pass from Rory Kerins.
Coachella Valley came out firing in the first period.
Tye Kartye opened the scoring for the Firebirds, followed by Jacob Melanson, who extended the lead to 2-0.
Kartye added another for a 3-0 advantage, before David Goyette wrapped up the first period with a fourth goal for the visitors.
The Wranglers came out in the second period with some urgency, and Hunt got Calgary on the board with a well-placed shot.
