SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - The Sioux Falls Stampede extended their win streak to three games, the longest of the season, with a 3-1 victory over the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders Friday night at the PREMIER Center. Jaxson Stauber collected his fourth straight victory in net, saving 25 of 26 shots.

The Stampede opened the first game of a seven game homestand with a scoreless first period. Cedar Rapids outshot Sioux Falls eight to seven in the period.

The Herd entered the second period on top 1-0 and outshot the RoughRiders 12 to six.

Cedar Rapids tied the game up about halfway through the third period off the stick of Donte Lawson. Team-leading scorer Nikolai Mayorov and Michael Posma assisted on the game-tying goal.
