Iowa Heartlanders News Release
Rapid City, SD - The Iowa Heartlanders dropped to the Rapid City Rush, 3-2, Friday at The Monument. Iowa scored a pair of power-play goals, courtesy of Cole Stallard and Bryce Misley.
Stallard's score evened the game, 1-1, with about three minutes to go in the middle frame. Stallard received a backdoor pass from Joe Widmar into the left circle, and found the back of the net for his fourth goal of the season. Misley's man-up goal brought the score to within one late in the third, good for his team-leading sixth power-play goal. Grabbing a rebound at net front, Misley easily flicked the puck over the goal line.
Tristan Thompson potted the first goal of the night after a scoreless first. After Stallard tied the game late in the second, Alec Butcher reclaimed the lead for the Rush 18 seconds into the third. The eventual game-winning goal came at even strength at 10:37. A saucer pass from Jake Wahlin at the left point found Zach Court at the low slot for an easy deflection into the net.
David Tendick earned the win for Rapid City saving 36. Corbin Kaczperski took the loss for Iowa stopping 31.
