March 19, 2021 - United States Hockey League (USHL) - Omaha Lancers News Release
URBANDALE, IA - The Omaha Lancers fell to the Des Moines Buccaneers by a final score of 3-2 on Friday night.
In the first period, Mitchell Wolfe (2:23) got the Buccaneers an early 1-0 lead shooting the puck from atop of the left circle beating Dobes. The Lancers evened the game up 1-1 when Nick Perna (10:16) shot the puck from the blue line past Mullahey.
After a scoreless second period, the Lancers opened up the third with a goal from Ryan Lautenbach (0:16) scoring from the slot. Ayrton Martino found the puck below the goal line and gave it to Lautenbach for his 12th goal of the year and a 2-1 Lancer lead. During the second of back-to-back power-plays, the Lancers mishandled the puck at their own blue line when Alex Laferriere (5:01) snapped it past Dobes for a 2-2 tie. Late into the period, and right off of the faceoff draw, Matt Choupani (17:52) dug the puck out from underneath the centers in the circle scoring what would be the game-winning goal for a 3-2 score.
The Lancers are now 23-18-0-1 on the season and have now dropped to 4th place in the USHL Western Conference with 47 points.
