Calgary Roughnecks News Release
Duluth, GA - The Calgary Roughnecks extended their winning streak to three games with a 16-12 triumph over the Georgia Swarm on Friday evening at Infinite Energy Arena.
The Roughnecks, who trailed 11-10 after 45 minutes, scored six fourth-quarter goals to seal the victory, marking the first time Calgary has recorded three consecutive wins since the 2014 season.
Curtis Dickson led the visitors with an 11-point effort (six goals, five assists), matching his single-game high set last season. Dickson, now with a team-leading 44 goals, is four tallies shy of his career high and seven goals back of the club's single-season record set by Dane Dobbie in 2014.
Since returning to the lineup following a four-game absence with an upper-body injury, Dobbie has recorded 17 points in his last three games including four goals and five helpers tonight. Jeff Shattler (2), rookie Wesley Berg (2), Karsen Leung and Tyler Digby also scored for the Roughnecks.
Mike Poulin, who received the start for Calgary, turned aside 25 of 36 shots he faced while Frankie Scigliano stepped in late in the third quarter and finished the game with nine saves.
The Roughnecks, who improve to 6-7, return to action tomorrow, Saturday, Mar. 26, when Calgary battles the Colorado Mammoth in the third and final regular season meeting between the two clubs at Pepsi Center (7:00 p.m. MT, FOX Sports GO).
