The Calgary Wranglers beat the Colorado Eagles 2-1 on Friday at Blue Federal Credit Union Arena in Loveland, with Rory Kerins scoring on a power play early in the third period to break a tie. Colorado had answered Calgary’s first-period goal in the second but never led.

Carter Wilkie put Calgary ahead at 2:37 of the first period, and the Wranglers carried a 1-0 lead into the intermission. The Eagles took several penalties after Wilkie’s goal, but Calgary’s lead stayed at one goal. Colorado had a power play late in the period but did not score before the break.

In the second, Calgary’s Ben Jones was called for holding, and Adam Beckman scored on the ensuing Colorado power play at 8:16 to tie it 1-1. The score stayed even through the rest of the period. A Colorado bench minor for too many men late in the second gave the Wranglers a power play that ran into the third.

Kerins scored on that power play at 0:48 of the third to put Calgary ahead 2-1. Alex Nylander and Hunter Brzustewicz assisted on the goal.
