Calgary opened the scoring in the first period when Zohorna took a pass from Phillips in front of the net and fired it home. The Silver Knights would tie the game midway through the frame with his 10th of the season from Jonas Rondjberg, his second in as many games against Calgary.
Moments later, Pettersen would regain the Wranglers lead, scoring his 10th goal of the season with a well-placed wrister over the shoulder of goaltender, Laurent Brossoit.
Wranglers led 2-1 at the break.
Henderson would tie the game 2:02 into the second period with the 16th goal of the season from Gage Quinney. They would take the lead at the midway point of the frame when Sheldon Rempel scored his ninth for the Silver Knights to give Henderson a 3-2 edge.
Wolf kept the game close in the third period, making a series of saves to keep the Wranglers within striking distance. However, an empty-net goal from Maxim Marushev in the late stages of the game sealed the deal for the Silver Knights.
4-2 final.
For the Wranglers, it is the first time losing back-to-back games since Nov.2, 2022. They'll look to get back in the win column when they head to Abbotsford to face Canucks on Jan.18.
