The Parkland Rangers lost their final regular season meeting with the Winnipeg Wild 4-3 Sunday.
The Wild dominated the Rangers in their three previous meetings, but not so much this time.
The Wild opened the game with two first period goals, Dauphin Kings prospect Kitchell Joss scoring one of them. The Rangers turned it around in the second period.
Bradyn Smelski got the Rangers on the board to cut the Wild lead in half, but 33 seconds later a shot in the Parkland zone hit a Rangers' stick and arced over goaltender Quinn Munro to restore the Wild's two goal lead.
The Rangers got back to within one when a strange bounce went their way, a puck took a strange bounce off the boards while Winnipeg's goalie Bennett Garber had gone behind the net to play it. Alone in the crease it was an easy tap in for Carter Cockburn.
The time it was the Rangers who answered again 33 seconds later as Brayden Delvenne fired a shot that just squeezed three Gerber with 1:20 left in the second to tie it.
The Rangers began the third on a power play, but were unable to convert with the extra skater. The Parkland was 0 for 4 with the man advantage.
The Wild's Griffin Leonard broke the stalemate at 13:34, firing a shot from up against the boards that somehow got by Munro. The shorthanded marker stood as the game winner.
The Rangers are next in action Wednesday hosting the Brandon AAA Wheat Kings at 7:30. CKDM is the game sponsor that night.
