Suess got the Moose on the board two minutes later, with a shorthanded goal to cut Calgary's lead to 3-1. Martin Frk struck 50 seconds later on the remaining power play time to re-establish Calgary's three-goal lead.

Kähönen made five saves on eight shots in the Moose net, and Ignatjew made nine stops on eleven shots for the Wranglers.

Dominic Toninato brought the Moose within one goal, tipping in a shot from Axel Jonsson-Fjällby halfway through the final stanza. Despite outshooting the Wranglers 15-7, the Moose weren't able to find the back of the net again to tie things up. Sam Honzek and Clark Bishop scored a pair of empty net goals in the final minutes to secure a 6-3 win for the Wranglers.
