CALGARY — Jordan Gilles scored the winner 7:11 into overtime to help the Colorado Mammoth spoil the Calgary Roughnecks' banner-raising night with a 8-7 victory on Saturday in the National Lacrosse League.

Dan Taylor led Calgary (1-1) in scoring with two goals and two assists.

The Mammoth scored on three of their six power plays, while the Roughnecks went 2 for 7 with the man advantage.
