The Las Vegas Wranglers won 3-2 in overtime over the Stockton Thunder tonight to wrap up a five-game road series with a 4-1-0 record.
Stockton took an early lead in the first on a goal from left wing Philippe Cornet just 3:14 into the game. The Wranglers tied it up 1-1 on defenseman and team captain Mike Madill’s first goal of the season with five minutes remaining in the period, but the Thunder regained the one-goal lead with a power play goal from right wing Yannick Riendeau late in the second.

The 2-1 score held until midway through the third, when Wranglers right wing Sean Wiles tallied the game-tying goal with eight minutes left in regulation. Overtime was forced for the third road game of the series, and with 1:04 left before a shootout, left wing Adam Hughesman netted the game-winning goal for Las Vegas in the 3-2 victory.
The Wranglers start a five-game home series tomorrow at 2:05 p.m. against the Idaho Steelheads, where fans can skate with the team for free after the game.
