Flames nip Roughnecks

Ever since suffering a season opening loss to the Roughnecks, the

Flames have been tearing up their Norris Division rivals.

goals scored as the Flames improved their division-leading ledger to 7-1.

to the Roughnecks back on July 7.

Flames goalie Shane Lakes also helped his club stay in control by

turning away 17 shot attempts by the Roughnecks.
