Armstrong Feels the Heat


CALGARY - The Calgary Flames have signed minor-league forward Riley Armstrong.

Saskatoon native Armstrong spent the last five seasons playing in the San Jose Sharks minor-league system and has appeared in two NHL games. The 25-year-old had 25 goals, 17 assists and 101 penalty minutes in 71 games for Worcester last season.

Riley will most likely end up in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The Flames moved their top minor league affiliate to British Columbia after spending two season in Quad Cities this past off season.
