CHIPPEWA FALLS, WI- The Chippewa Steel took the ice once more before Christmas to face the Fairbanks Ice Dogs on Friday night. An evenly played first period yielded no goals for both the Steel and the Ice Dogs. Despite two power play chances for Fairbanks, goalie Grant Boldt held his own between the pipes.
Boldt continued his dominant performance in the second period making 11 saves and going 3-0 on the penalty kill. The back and forth play continued until late in the period when Killian Kiecker-Olson's one-timer found the cage behind Mattias Sholl. Kiecker-Olson's 8thgoal of the year put the Steel ahead 1-0.
Another added goal by Ryan Kerchoff in the third period gave the Steel a two-goal cushion. However, the Ice Dogs weren't ready to quit. Fairbanks capitalized on their 5thpower play of the night. Another quick Ice Dog's goal tied things up and sent the game into overtime with two goals apiece. The Ice Dogs won the first possession of the 5-minute overtime but Boldt was able to make a sliding save for the Steel. However, the Steel were able to turn it around quickly. Kiecker-Olson got another quick shot past Sholl for the game-winning goal with a final score of 3-2.
