Las Vegas Wranglers News Release


Las Vegas - On a one-game road trip to California, the Las Vegas Wranglers fell 4-3 tonight after a three-goal comeback from the Ontario Reign in the third period.

Two minutes into the game, Reign forward Kyle Kraemer scored the first goal of the night for a 1-0 Ontario lead. It only took Las Vegas another two minutes to get on the board with a goal from Wranglers right wing Ryan Weston, and in the second, Wranglers forward Sean Wiles exploded with two goals in five minutes for a 3-1 lead over Ontario at the end of the period.

Ontario made it a one-goal game six minutes into the third on a goal from forward Tristan King. While on a power play ten minutes later, Reign defenseman Chris Huxley made it a 3-3 game, and a goal from Reign left wing Kevin Estrada in the last 90 seconds of regulation tipped the score in Ontario's favor. Unable to respond, the Wranglers fell 4-3 to the Reign after being outshot 20-6 in the final period.

The Wranglers return home on Friday for "Pink in the Rink," where specialty game-worn jerseys will be auctioned off to benefit two local breast cancer organizations. The team will face the Bakersfield Condors with a puck drop at 7:05 p.m., and fans are encouraged to wear pink to help "pink out" Orleans Arena. Tonight's full box score can be found here .
