They play a back to back with game two being a match up against the San Diego Gulls. Both of the Wranglers\u2019 weekend opponents played on Friday and the Gulls won 7-4. Calgary will for sure need to get scoring going in this game to pick up some points in this road stretch.<\/p>\n<p>Last game\u2019s lines<\/p>\n<p>Calgary\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dryden Hunt \u2013 Justin Kirkland \u2013 William Stromgren\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brennan Othmann \u2013 Sam Morton \u2013 Aydar Suniev\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Carter King \u2013 Clark Bishop \u2013 David Silye<\/p>\n<p>Alex Gallant \u2013 Carter Wilkie \u2013 Parker Bell<\/p>\n<p>Turner Ottenbreit \u2013 Daniil Miromanov\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Artem Grushnikov \u2013 Gavin White\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Etienne Morin \u2013 Chase Pauls<\/p>\n<p>Arsenii Sergeev\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>San Diego\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sasha Pastujov \u2013 Ryan Carpenter \u2013 Justin Bailey<\/p>\n<p>Sam Colangelo \u2013 Cal Burke \u2013 Matthew Phillips<\/p>\n<p>Yegor Sidorov \u2013 Nikita Nesterenko \u2013 Coulson Pitre<\/p>\n<p>Nico Myatovic \u2013 Nathan Gaucher \u2013 Judd Caulfield<\/p>\n<p>Stian Solberg \u2013 Roland McKeown<\/p>\n<p>Tyson Hinds \u2013 Tristan Luneau<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas Brouillard \u2013 Noah Warren\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tomas Suchanek<\/p>\n<p>Leaders<\/p>\n<p>Calgary<\/p>\n<p>Martin Frk \u2013 59GP, 25G, 26A<\/p>\n<p>Dryden Hunt \u2013 42GP, 15G, 34A<\/p>\n<p>Rory Kerins \u2013 50GP, 17G, 28A<\/p>\n<p>San Diego\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sasha Pastujov \u2013 61GP, 16G, 30A<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Phillips \u2013 61GP, 12G, 31A<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Carpenter \u2013 61GP, 15G, 22A<\/p>\n<p>Notes and expectations<a class=\"text-accent\" href=\"https:\/\/flamesnation.ca\/news\/fns-mid-season-flames-prospect-updates-arsenii-sergeev\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arsenii Sergeev<\/a> started Saturday\u2019s game so it\u2019s likely that Ivan Prosvetov will get the start for this game on the back end of the back to back. The Wranglers will be without Martin Frk for this game as his wife is expecting their second child imminently. He did not travel with the team for Saturday\u2019s game against the Gulls. The Wranglers are already without Rory Kerins and now Frk for the interim are going to be looking to their depth to get some scoring going without a couple of their top producers.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest thing the Wranglers need to clean up this week is their special teams. They had plenty of opportunities on Saturday to get at least a goal to force overtime against Bakersfield. Seven chances to be exact. They also had a full five-on-three in the first period that sticks out as a huge missed opportunity in their previous game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As far as the penalty kill goes, this is another part of their game that needs some work. <a class=\"text-accent\" href=\"https:\/\/flamesnation.ca\/news\/recap-wranglers-comeback-efforts-implode-in-third-period-against-silver-knights\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">In their 8-3 loss on Thursday against the Henderson Silver Knights<\/a>, five of those goals were on the penalty kill and they only killed off two of the seven penalties in that game. In Tuesday\u2019s game, Calgary also gave up two power play goals in the four chances Henderson had. Calgary\u2019s penalty kill and power play each rank 30th in the league with their PK sitting at 75.7% and their power play sitting at 13.9%.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The wins may have been few and far between as of late, but there are still things in Calgary\u2019s game they can benefit from working on. This game gets going at 6:00 p.m. MT and streaming options are available for a fee on Flo Hockey.
