Calgary skated to a 3-0 win at the Scotiabank Saddledome against their rival Coachella Valley Firebirds, with goals from Aydar Suniev, Daniil Miromanov, and Martin Frk powering the Wranglers to a tidy, hard-earned result.
The backbone of it all? Owen Say, who turned aside 44 shots in a brilliant performance, securing his first professional shutout anchoring the Wranglers.
The tone was set early.
Less than seven minutes in, Alex Gallant dropped the gloves with Kaden Hammel, sparking a full bench brawl and firing up the homeside.
The energy paid off soon after.
Sam Morton slipped a quick feed into the slot, where Suniev snapped one past Nikke Kokko to open the scoring.
Calgary doubled the lead in the second.
Rory Kerins threaded a pass through traffic, finding Miromanov, who buried it to make it 2-0 and give the Wranglers firm control.
The third period was all about sealing the deal.
With the opposition net empty and time winding down, Frk bagged his 400th AHL career point, sliding home the finisher with 39 seconds left.
The Wranglers will have a quick turnaround, as they face the Firebirds again on Dec. 11 at home at 7 p.m.
