Back and looking to gain a win in the series, the Wranglers face off against the San Jose Barracuda in the second half of their double-header tonight.
The Matchup
Calgary dropped a 5-1 decision at Tech CU Arena Friday, with Sam Morton scoring the lone goal in the opening period.
Morton opened the scoring by tapping home a Zayne Parekh shot, but the game tilted after that.
San Jose responded with five unanswered goals, including two powerplay markers and a shorthanded goal, as momentum swung for the opposition.
The Barracuda outshot Calgary 42-23, and now lead 4-0 in the season series.
As the two sides meet again, Calgary will be looking for a sharper start, tighter special teams, and a more complete sixty-minute effort to flip the script against a Barracuda group that capitalized quickly on their chances.
