The Matchup
This marks the second game of a doubleheader against the Eagles after a tough 6-5 overtime loss on Dec. 30.
The Wranglers stormed back with a commanding second period to erase a deficit, but Colorado answered in the third to force overtime after trailing 5-3.
William Stromgren was a standout in Tuesday night’s matchup, recording two goals and an assist to reach the 100-point milestone in his AHL career.
“Everybody was in the right place at the right time, helping and supporting each other, making it easy for everyone to click and get everything going,” said Stromgren when asked about his top line generating nine points in the second period.
