Calgary picked up their first win of the season in Week 6 with a 15-12 victory in San Diego. Forward’s Tanner Cook and Brayden Mayea had monstrous nine-point nights to lead the way, and goaltender Aden Walsh was solid with 50-saves, marking a new career-high.

Vancouver (2-1) enters the contest coming off a two-week bye for their first meeting of the season with the Riggers. Former Roughnecks Curtis Dickson, Jesse King, Reece Callies and Christian Del Bianco make their return to Calgary for the tilt.

Roughnecks forward Tyler Pace heads into Week 7 leading the Riggers in points with 25 (7G, 18A) through four-games played. Face-off specialist Justin Inacio is currently second in the NLL for loose balls with 49.
