Tonight's Matchup: The San Francisco Bulls (19-28-1-6) continue their six-game road trip with their second in as many nights against the Idaho Steelheads (35-15-1-4) at CenturyLink Arena. This is the sixth of eight meetings between the two, with Idaho leading the season series 3-2.
Last night the Bulls were unable to solve Idaho's netminder Josh Robinson, who earned his second shutout of the season as the Steelheads defeated the Bulls 4-0. Two goals in the first and two in the second were enough to lead Idaho to their 35th win of the season.
Newly-acquired Bryan Cameron (from Utah) and Tristan King (from Idaho) made their debuts with the Bulls.
Fighting for their starting position in net, Thomas Heemskerk and Taylor Nelson both got a chance to prove themselves worthy Friday night. Heemskerk started for the Bulls, and through one period faced and stopped 12 of 14 shots. Nelson came on in relief in the second period, and through the final two periods faced and stopped 23 of 25 shots he faced.
The Idaho Steelheads solidified their playoff spot with their win last night. With 75 points on the season, the Steelheads sit in third, and are four behind the second-place Ontario Reign. San Francisco, currently in eighth place with 45 points, maintains a four point lead on the Bakersfield Condors.
