Winston Day Chief gave Rush fans something to cheer about early notching his second goal of the season just 2:13 into the opening frame assisted by Michael Couch. The Rush offense would continue to dominate, out-shooting the Sundogs 12-8 by first intermission.
The Sundogs capitalized on an early power play just 2:17 into the second period with a score by former Rush player Derek LeBlanc. But the Rush offense would get back to work as Jesse Schultz deflected in his 8th goal of the season off of a shot from Michael Couch, who would be credited with his second assist of the night.
Despite a valiant effort on both sides of the ice, the final frame would be dominated by defense. Tim Boron turned away a total of 34 shots throughout the contest, 14 coming just in the third period, en route to a 2-1 victory.
