LANTZ: The Valley Wildcats rallied back from a 2-0 deficit to earn a hard-fought overtime win, although the game winner seemed to be questionable.
Morgan Flemming scored the winner, but on ice activity suggested that players on the Rangers questioned the call to the second official after an infraction near the front of the net.
Earlier, when it was 2-1 for the Rangers, the Wildcats tied it.
This after the play was allowed to continue despite the puck coming just outside the line and back in, but play was not blown dead for being offside.

It was Flemming’s second goal of the game.
