Calgary took the 7-5 victory in a back-and-forth finale in Loveland, Colorado, with Martin Frk scoring a pair, and Brennan Othmann, Daniil Miromanov, Nick Cicek, Clark Bishop and Parker Bell also found the back of the net for the Wranglers in their final game of the season.

BOX SCORE

It wasn’t the start Calgary wanted.

Gavin Brindley opened the scoring on the man advantage, snapping a penalty-kill run that had been perfect a night earlier, before Luke Toporowski and Jacob MacDonald made it 3-0 for the homeside inside the opening frame.

The Eagles kept their foot on the gas early in the second, T.J. Hughes stretched the lead to four, but that’s when Calgary pushed back.

Othmann sparked life into the bench with his first as a Wrangler, winning a battle along the wall before a slick sequence between Clark Bishop and David Silye set him up at the top of the crease.

Moments later, Miromanov jumped into the play and buried from the slot after neat work by Dryden Hunt and Rory Kerins to cut the deficit in half.

Calgary kept pushing.

Cicek joined the rush and finished a feed from Kerins at the left circle to make it a one-goal game.

Bryan Yoon briefly halted the momentum to restore a two-goal cushion for Colorado.

Bishop, however, wasn’t done.

Capping a multi-point night, he battled to the top of the blue paint and jammed home a feed from Sam Morton, set up by a patient William Strömgren, to pull Calgary back within one heading into the third.

The push continued in the final frame.

Bell pulled the visitors level, wiring a shot from the left circle off a Carter Wilkie setup to tie things at five.

Then came the breakthrough.

On the powerplay, Frk stuck with his own rebound and hammered home a second effort past Isak Posch, giving Calgary their first lead of the night at 6–5.

Frk then capitalized on a Colorado empty net to cap off the night.
