CALGARY, AB. - The Calgary Wranglers stormed back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Colorado Eagles 3-2 on Friday.

Calgary would slice the deficit in half when defenseman Yan Kuznetsov fired a shot from the blue line that would deflect off the skates of an Eagles skater and into the back of the net. The goal was Kuznetsov's first of the season and trimmed Colorado's lead to 2-1 at the 2:55 mark of the second period.
The Wranglers would dominate the shots in the middle frame, outshooting Colorado 15-8, as the Eagles left for the second intermission still leading, 2-1.
Forward Rory Kerins would field a cross-slot pass at the side of the crease before steering the puck into the back of the net, tying the game at 2-2 at the 5:53 mark of the third period.
As time ticked down, Bishop located a rebound at the top of the crease and lunged across the ice and swatting the puck home. The goal would give Calgary a 3-2 advantage with 5:32 remaining in the game.
