In Abbotsford on Friday, the Flames jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the first period, got three more in the second, and cruised to a 7-1 win.
Craig Schouten, whom the Flames acquired in trade last week, was the player of the game with two goals and one assist in his first game of the season, and first ever as a Flame.
Jack Foster also had two goals and an assist, Jack Steffens had a goal and an assist, while Smail and Josh Chapman also scored.
Marshall got the win again, making 31 saves on 32 shots.
