Attendance was about 30 on this wet evening.
Wow, a thrilling last minute win in a goalmouth scramble. That's two wins for the Astros on wet night home games as it was only two games ago they beat Glen Shields 5-1 in similar conditions.
The Astros pass the Flames in the standing and will likely finish sixth.
