Roanoke, VA â Luke Curtin continued his torrid play with a goal and two assists, his third consecutive three-point game, as the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies defeated the Roanoke Express 5-1 before 2710 at the Roanoke Civic Center in ECHL action on Friday. The win extended the Bullies unbeaten streak in regulation to 10 games (9-0-1).
The Bullies (23-9-1) opened the scoring at 16:02 of the first period on the power play when Curtin's blast from the high slot found its way through traffic and behind Roanoke goalie Jason Wolfe to give the Bullies a 1-0 lead.
