The Sylvan Lake Wranglers routed the Rocky Rams 11-1 at Diamond Valley Pressure Services Arena on Friday, scoring on all three of their power plays and chasing Rocky’s starting goaltender early in the second.
Sylvan Lake scored four times in the first — Liam Tennant at 0:45, Cohen Carlson’s eventual game-winner at 2:29, Cody Wells on the power play at 6:53, and Karson Ledieu at 9:45 — to lead 4-0 after 20 minutes. The Wranglers kept pouring it on in the second with five more: Ayren Henry, Tennant’s second, Wells’ second, Avery Shadbolt, and Cooper Towers, forcing a goaltender change for Rocky just 1:19 into the period after Maddyn McCrindle allowed six goals. Rocky’s lone goal came from Bracken Hilman at 13:42 of the second. Sylvan Lake closed it out with two more in the third from Cooper Lawrence and a shorthanded tally from Bode Dakin.
Sylvan Lake’s Marlo DeRosa made 10 saves on 11 shots for the win. Rocky used two goaltenders — Maddyn McCrindle (20/26) was relieved by Jett Wagner (27/32) after the first goal of the second period.
