Mike Sciacca

The Flames continued their dominance of their Norris Division

opponents Friday, this time by blanking the Sabres, 2-0, at Coast 2 Coast

Inline Hockey Center in Huntington Beach.

With goalie Shane Lakes keeping the Sabres out of the nets, the

Flames’ offense supported his shutout as both Alex Loeffelman and Kyle

Power scored, and both Brandon Weiss and Tyler Lakes each had an assist.

Despite recording their seventh consecutive win following a season

opening loss to the Roughnecks, the Flames were held to their lowest

point total in a match this season.

The shutout was the second of the season for both Shane Lakes and

the defense, which blanked the Sharks, 5-0, back on July 14.

Sabres goalie Garrett Ono turned away 21 shots by the Flames.
