Pelletier, who logged two dozen NHL appearances during an end-of-season audition with the Flames, was starting to wonder what it would take to beat Abbotsford’s Spencer Martin. “I think I had, like, five shots in overtime,” said Pelletier, a fresh row of stitches in his lip after he was high-sticked earlier in the evening. “I think I shot the puck three times at the same spot and it didn’t go in. So the fourth time, I was like, ‘C’mon man, you gotta score.’ And it went in.”Calgary Wranglers goalie Dustin Wolf and forward Adam Klapka defend against Abbotsford Canucks forward Justin Dowling at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary on Wednesday, April 26, 2023.
“We looked like a team that hadn’t played in a while,” echoed Wranglers coach Mitch Love. “I thought our execution was average at best. I think guys maybe frustrated themselves because things are happening at such a high level of speed and repetition out there and when you haven’t played a competitive game in 11 days, while the team over there has played a couple playoff games already, it was a bit of a factor.
