Calgary Roughnecks News Release
Buffalo, NY - The Buffalo Bandits extend their winning streak to four games as they improve to 8-2 on the season following a 12-10 victory over the visiting Calgary Roughnecks on Saturday night at KeyBank Center.
Calgary, leading 8-6 heading into the halftime break, was not able to maintain the advantage after six different Bandits found the back of the net in the second half while holding the Roughnecks to just two goals.
It was a team effort for the Bandits as Steve Priolo (2g, 1a) and Dhane Smith (2g, 2a) netted a pair of goals each while eight other players got single markers for the home team.
For Calgary, team-leading scorer Curtis Dickson (4g, 1a) recorded four goals while alternate captain Dane Dobbie (2g, 4a) and Rhys Duch (2g, 2a) followed with a pair of markers. Dan Taylor (1g, 1a) and rookie Shane Simpson (1g) rounded out the scoring for the Roughnecks.
Going the distance in the win for Buffalo was Matt Vinc, finishing the night with 40 stops while Christian Del Bianco stood between the Calgary pipes and turned aside 43 of the 55 shots he faced.
The Roughnecks are now on a bye-week and return to action on Mar. 2 when they visit the Saskatchewan Rush at the SaskTel Centre to wrap up their road trip. The Riggers are back in the Rough House on Mar. 9 when they host the Toronto Rock at the Scotiabank Saddledome at 7:00 p.m.
