Las Vegas - In the first of a three-game road series, the Las Vegas Wranglers secured a 3-2 overtime win tonight against the Colorado Eagles.

Eagles forward Riley Nelson netted the first goal of the game midway through the first period. Wranglers center Eric Lampe tied it up 1-1 five minutes into the second frame, but forward Adam Chorneyko tallied a power play goal to regain a 2-1 Colorado lead less than 10 minutes later.

With seven minutes left in regulation, Lampe tied the game once again on his 32nd goal of the season. Both goaltenders - Joe Fallon for Las Vegas, Alex Penner for Colorado - were able to hold off scoring and force an overtime match. Wranglers left wing Josh Lunden recorded the game-winning goal with just 59 seconds left to play, giving Las Vegas the 3-2 win. Both Lampe and Lunden received one of tonight's Three Stars.

The Wranglers face the Eagles on Friday and Saturday night before returning home to Orleans Arena on Thursday, Feb. 2, to take on the Alaska Aces in a three-game series. Tonight's full box score can be found here .
