Game one of a three-game series

LAST GAME vs Las Vegas: Victoria faced the bright lights of Vegas on Tuesday, January 9th in the fourth meeting of the season. The Wranglers scored at 4:57 into the first period and took the 1-0 lead. Joe Tallari found a loose puck in front of the crease and poked it past rookie Goaltender Bryan Bridges. Still in the first, during a 4-on-4 series, Kiel McLeod nabbed his own faceoff win and stepped to the net with a backhand shot past Netminder Kevin Nastiuk for the tie.

Victoria scored the only goal in the second period. Defenseman Seamus Young gave the Salmon Kings the lead, and Matt Kelly tallied the insurance goal in the third period for Victoria's third win at the Orleans Arena this season. Bryan Bridges earned a 0.944 save percentage.
