Calgary Roughnecks News Release
Albany, NY - The Calgary Roughnecks defeated the Albany Firewolves 13-12 in overtime Saturday night in Albany, thanks in part to a 7-goal fourth quarter from Dane Dobbie, who also notched the overtime winner.
With Albany first on the board, Mathieu Gautier was quick to answer for Calgary with his first goal as a Roughneck. The Firewolves took the first quarter 5-2, with the second Calgary goal scored on the powerplay by Curtis Dickson.
The game was goal-for-goal through the second and third quarters, Tanner Cook notched two for Calgary and Dickson added a second with Albany up 8-5 heading into the final frame.
Dane Dobbie answered an early Firewolves goal with his first of the night, and then another four straight goals to tie the game at 10-10. He continued to find the back of the net, answering two more Firewolves goals with two of his own to send the game into overtime. In a fitting end to the game, Dobbie scored the game winner 50 seconds into overtime. His seven goals in the fourth quarter is a league record for most goals scored by a single player in a single quarter, and his 8 total goals is a career best for goals in a single game.
