The final game of a west coast road trip fizzled more than sizzled Tuesday night, as the Calgary Wranglers dropped a 6-1 decision to the Ontario Reign at the Toyota Arena in central California.

The Wranglers got off to a strong start, taking a 1-0 lead on a goal from David Silye, but just before the first intermission, the Reign tied it up on a goal from Charles Hudon.

That set the stage for the Reign to rule supreme the rest of the night, as they scored the next five goals to seal the deal.

Andre Lee, Taylor Ward, Tyler Madden, Francesco Pinelli and Samuel Fagemo rounded out the scoring for the Reign.

The Wranglers return home to play a pair of weekend contests against the San Diego Gulls, staring Saturday night at the Saddledome.

Puck drop for that one is scheduled for 7 p.m.
