NOTES
* Despite the embarrassing setback on Saturday, the Rage still lead the Northwest Division by three points over the second-place Eagles.
* Rocky Mountain did not reach its fifth win last season until Nov. 28.
* The team completed its first home stand with a record of 3-0-1. The second of three season-long, four-game stretches at Broomfield Event Center begins on Friday.
* The Rage did not give-up a first period goal nor did they trail after two periods through the season's first six games. Both streaks came to an end on Saturday.
* Rosychuk's hat trick was the third in franchise history. His three-goal outburst capped a four-game goal streak, equaling the team record first set by Chip Dunleavy last season.
* Wray leads the team and is tied for fourth in the CHL with 14 points (5g-9a). He recorded at least one point in each of the season's first six games, tying the team mark for longest point streak first set by Craig Olynick last year.
