The Wranglers fell 3-2 to the Manitoba Moose Sunday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
The tone was set early as Manitoba’s Parker Ford beat Wranglers goalie Devin Cooley with a shorthanded goal in the first.
Lucas Ciona tallied the equalizer in the middle stanza.
Ciona found a rebound off Jeremie Poirier’s shot, and with quick hands, buried it.

But that excitement was short-lived.
Kevin Conley restored Manitoba’s lead, putting the Moose up 2-1.
The third period was a battle of wills.
Finally, the Wranglers broke through.
With a chaotic scramble in front of Manitoba’s net, Sam Morton was there to poke in a loose puck to tie it up again.
