Idaho Steelheads News Release
INDEPENDENCE, MO - The Idaho Steelheads (17-4-0-1, 35pts) defeated the Kansas City Mavericks (16-6-1-0, 33pts) by a final score of 1-0 Saturday night at the Cable Dahmer Arena in front of a 5,425 fans. Idaho will host Rapid City next week for a three-game series beginning on Wednesday from the Idaho Central Arena for a 7:10 p.m. puck drop.
The only score of the game came from A.J. White (12th) got the Steelheads on the board 4:41 into the second frame with a power-play score, the eighth straight game Idaho has scored on the man advantage. Zane Franklin from the left-wing half boards sent a backhand pass to Seamus Donohue in the high slot. From there, Donohue looked like he was going to blast a one-timer off but instead slid the puck to White all alone at the far side of the crease.
Bryan Thomson made 26 saves on 26 shots in the win for the Steelheads first shutout of the season while Cale Morris made 22 saves on 23 shots in the loss.
