Amarillo 4 @ New Mexico 2 – The Amarillo Wranglers visited the New Mexico Ice Wolves on Wednesday night for a regular season matchup. New Mexico looked to secure their first home win while Amarillo was in the hunt for their first road victory. Coming out hot in the first period for New Mexico was Ville Schoenborg with a goal, assisted by Jake Kasay and Joseph Biermeister. The Ice Wolves added to their lead with just over a minute remaining in the opening period when Max Stracar went bar down, assisted by Cooper Bayer and Parker Thompson. The Wranglers responded early on in the second period as Harout Arutyunyan found the back of the net with assists from Hugo Råsten and Griffin Haagenson. Amarillo’s Ralfs Veidemanis then evened the score with 6:29 to go in the second, assisted by Leathen Bent and Eric Lund. In the final period, Arutyunyan secured Amarillo’s first lead of the night when he found twine in power-play fashion with less than four minutes on the clock. The final dagger of the night would be in empty-netter fashion by Eric Lund with just a second to spare on the clock. Amarillo skates to a 4-2 victory.
