The San Diego Gulls fell to the Calgary Wranglers in game two of their weekend series at Scotiabank Saddledome tonight, 2-1.
Sam Colangelo found the lone Gulls goal late in the second period to cut Calgary’s lead in half. The goal ended a six-game goal drought for the forward.
An assist picked up by Tim Washe brought the rookie’s point total up to 11-11=22. Washe has now logged 4-4=8 points in his past 10 games played. Defenseman Roland McKeown also logged an assist, breaking an eight-game point drought for himself.
San Diego consistently held a lead in shots on goal throughout the entirety of the game. The Gulls put up a total 53 shots, breaking the team’s previous AHL record of 50 which had been set three times prior. The Gulls put up 50-plus shots in both games against Calgary this weekend, the first time in team history recording 50 shots in back-to-back games.
The game saw Ville Husso back in the net as he returned to the Gulls after spending some time in the NHL. The goaltender saved 18-of-20 shots, keeping the game close throughout.
