SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - The Sioux Falls Stampede closed out the year 2019 with a 4-1 loss to the Des Moines Buccaneers at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center Tuesday night.

Jaxson Stauber made his third-consecutive start in net, stopping 19 of 22 shots on goal.

Jakub Lewandowski opened the scoring for the Herd with his sixth goal of the season at the 8:10 mark of the second period. Brian Carrabes sent a puck on net from the top of the point that was redirected by Lewandowski under the left pad of goaltender James Durham for the 1-0 lead.

Des Moines forward Kristof Papp took control of the game with back-to-back goals at the 6:01 and 9:33 into the third period for his twelfth and thirteenth goals of the season. Joey Strada continued the scoring 8:30 minutes later by beating Jaxson Stauber on the backhand shot one-on-one following a turnover. Manuel Alberg closed out the scoring with the empty-net goal with 30 seconds left in regulation.

The Herd finished the night 0 for 3 on the man advantage and 1 for 2 on the penalty kill. Sioux Falls is now 9-14-3 on the season.
