Stampede Stall Hawks' Offense

February 27, 2015 - United States Hockey League (USHL)
Waterloo Black Hawks News Release

Stefanos Lekkas made 21 saves to lead the Sioux Falls Stampede past the Waterloo Black Hawks 1-0 at Young Arena Friday.

The visiting goaltender's best save came with 64 seconds remaining in the first period as he gloved a breakaway chance by Tyson McLellan.

With 27.7 seconds left before the first intermission, Sioux Falls broke the seal on the net during a power play for the only goal of the night. Left with room in the slot, Dillon Eichstadt stepped toward the crease and lifted a shot over the right shoulder of Hawks goaltender Cale Morris.

Both teams had three power plays turned aside in the second period. Waterloo finished the night 0-for-5, while Sioux Falls went 1-for-4. Morris made 22 saves in the loss, with the shot count favoring the Stampede 23-21 at the end of the evening.

The weekend fulcrum is a road matchup Saturday against the Dubuque Fighting Saints as part of the Prairie Farms Cowbell Cup Series. After returning from Mystique Ice Center, the Hawks take home ice again on Sunday against the Omaha Lancers at 3:05 p.m. As part of a college weekend, tickets are just $8 for college students with ID on game day or $7 when purchased in advance.
