Wranglers Series Preview: Two pre-season looks against the Abbotsford Canucks

The Calgary Wranglers will play a two-game road exhibition series against the Abbotsford Canucks ahead of the 2026-27 season. The pre-season matchup serves as a new addition to the schedule, offering game action to players not currently involved in NHL training camps following the cancellation of the Penticton Young Stars tournament.

Several roster adjustments impact the available lineups for the series. Alex Nylander could join the Wranglers if he clears waivers by Sunday, while defenseman Abram Wiebe was recently recalled by the Calgary Flames. Additionally, defenseman Andreas Englund was claimed off waivers by the Detroit Red Wings, ruling him out for the AHL squad.
