Home ice matters as Bisons-Wranglers series knotted at two

The Heritage Junior B League Championship is all knotted up at two games apiece now.

The Sylvan Lake Wranglers were in their home rink Saturday night and skated away with a 6-1 win over the Carstar Okotoks Bisons.

The Wranglers scored first but Caden Scott scored just before the end of the first to tie it up at 1-1.

Scott's goal was assisted on by Jake Snashall and Kegan Law and that would be all the scoring from the Bisons as they were held to only 23 shots on the night.

The Wranglers would add a pair in the second period and then would slip three more in the third period for the win. 

Grady Nicholas was handed the loss in net with 21 saves on 26 shots as Logan Maroni filled in 9 minutes of ice time to stop 4 out of 5 shots.

The HJHL Championship best of seven series is now tied up at two-games-to-two, so games five and six are lined up for Friday March 29 at the Murray Arena in Okotoks for an 8 p.m. puck drop and then game six is back in Sylvan Lake on Saturday March 30. 

If there's a game seven it's coming back to Okotoks on Sunday March 31 for an early start time of 6 p.m.
