In advance of Friday night’s pre-season Battle of Alberta, the Calgary Flames have trimmed down their training camp roster. The club has assigned seven players to the American Hockey League’s Calgary Wranglers: goaltenders Connor Murphy and Matt Radomsky, and forwards Mark Duarte, Alex Gallant, Rory Kerins, Mitch McLain and Ilya Nikolaev.
