Calgary fell 1-0 to the Condors in Bakersfield, with the Wranglers unable to solve netminder Calvin Pickard after Atro Leppanen opened the scoring.<\/p>\n
It was a tight-checking affair from puck drop, with neither side able to break through in a scoreless first period.<\/p>\n
Both teams kept things to the outside, limiting second-chance looks and clogging up the middle of the ice.<\/p>\n
The deadlock finally broke in the second when Leppanen buried the game\u2019s lone goal, giving Bakersfield a slim edge in what remained a low-event contest.<\/p>\n
Calgary pushed to respond in the third but couldn\u2019t find their finish, despite earning plenty of opportunities with the man advantage.<\/p>\n
The Wranglers went 0-for-7 on the powerplay, unable to generate a look for a needed turn in momentum.<\/p>\n
Calgary outshot Bakersfield 22-20.<\/p>\n
Calgary was without leading scorer Martin Frk, who was away anticipating the birth of his child.<\/p>\n
Injuries sidelined Rory Kerins, Lucas Ciona, and Nick Cicek.<\/p>\n
The Wranglers will look to re-write the script in San Diego as they face off against the Gulls at 6 p.m. MT on Mar. 22.<\/p>\n
