Wranglers to Face Aces in First Round of 2014 Kelly Cup Playoffs

April 11, 2014 - ECHL (ECHL)
Las Vegas Wranglers News Release


In 13 head-to-head games this year Las Vegas finished with a 2-10-0-1 mark against the Aces, going 1-4-0-1 at Sullivan Arena. In their last two meetings, the Wranglers are 1-1-0, including a dramatic comeback victory where they scored three goals in the final 1:27 to turn a 3-1 deficit into a 4-3 win on Saturday, Mar. 29 at Orleans Arena.

The last time these two teams met in the ECHL playoffs was during the 2012 Western Conference Finals, when the Wranglers took down the Aces four games to one in a best-of-seven series. After splitting the first two meetings in Las Vegas, the Wranglers won three straight games up in Alaska to bring home the Western Conference Championship, their second in franchise history. From the postseason roster the Wranglers had that season, seven still remain on the team this year, including Head Coach Mike Madill, who played defense and captained the team in the 2011-12 season, (D) Jeff May, (C) Geoff Paukovich, (F) Robbie Smith, (C) Chris Francis, (G) Mitch O'Keefe and (F) Adam Huxley. The Aces' current active roster contains just two players from that series - forward and current captain, Nick Mazzolini, and goaltender Gerald Coleman.

With just two more games remaining for Las Vegas in the 2013-14 season, the Wranglers will now make their way over to Stockton for a matchup with the Thunder on Saturday, Apr. 12. Las Vegas will then conclude the regular season campaign with one more stop in Bakersfield, taking on the Condors on Sunday, Apr. 13.
