NOTES
* Rocky Mountain accomplished a franchise first with its win on Saturday by capturing its first-ever overtime victory. Prior to Saturday, the club had gone to OT 13 times over its brief history and reached a shootout on nine occasions. The other four decisions all ended with the opposition celebrating after a sudden-death goal.
* The Rage allowed just 22 shots on goal in their home opener on Friday, a new team-record low.
* Rosychuk scored 51 seconds into Saturday's tilt, the team's quickest goal of the season to start a game.
* Rocky Mountain has yet to give-up a first period goal this season.
* Colt King celebrated his 200th game as a pro on Friday by scoring the game-winning goal against the Oilers. He then notched his 100th career point (53g-47a) when he lit the lamp on Saturday.
* After recording his second three-point game of the season on Saturday, assistant captain Scott Wray now leads the team with 10 points (4g-6a) and begins the week tied for fourth in the CHL in scoring.
* Dunleavy and Rosychuk's short-handed goals on Friday marked the second time the club has scored two shorties in one game. Kyle Kos and Matic Kralj also accomplished the feat on Jan. 27, 2007, in an 8-4 win over the Arizona Sundogs.
* Trevor Weisgerber's next goal will be the 100th of his six-year career, and Brent Cullaton is two away from 400 assists over his 12 seasons as a pro.
