The good times continued to roll for the Parkland Rangers this evening. The club trailed twice against the Brandon Wheat Kings, but they battled back both times and they ended up picking up two points in a 5-3 win inside of Credit Union Place.
In a game where two Rangers scored twice each, Parkland has now won three games in a row for the first time this season.
