The Wranglers travel to Portland on Sunday (10/26) to play the River City Jaguars at 4:20 PM. The Jaguars are 3-4 having recently beat the Tri-City Titans (6-5) in the Tri-Cities on Friday. The Jaguars play again tonight - Saturday - against the Titans in the Tri-Cities.The Jaguars are going in to tonight's game with the Titans enjoying a two game win streak. Their offense seems to be pretty balanced by six players enjoying cumulative points (goals and assists) of 5 or more. Their leading scorer Alto has 5 goals and 1 assist, while leading in points are players Abudakar (#17) and Niklas (#13) with 7 points each. These three along with Right Wing, Nighbert (#21) have over 20 minutes or more in penalties. The Jags defense is also involved in scoring with Mayers (#27) and Garrett (#7) each with 2 goals and 3 assists.
What does this mean for the Wranglers? Well they're probably going to face a talented balanced offense. River City out-shot the Titans with 51 shots on goal as compared to 39 for the Titans. If the Jags put Buckley (.922 Save%) in net against the Wranglers it might make it hard to score. Hopefully the late night road trip back from the Tri-Cities will affect the Jaguars for Sunday's game. The Wranglers will need to play stingy on defense, stay out of the penalty box, and start to make good, solid passes and put the puck on net. Good luck Wranglers!
