Omaha Lancers News Release
Michael Pradel turned aside all 28 shots that he faced and the Tri-City Storm shut out the Omaha Lancers, 3-0, on Saturday night at Liberty First Credit Union Arena.
Omaha (10-24-2-2) came out hot, recording the game's first six shots but surrendered the first goal after committing a too many men on the ice bench minor at the 9:08 mark. That led to a power-play goal from Cameron Springer 1:28 later to put Tri-City (16-17-3-2) up, 1-0.
The Storm held that lead for the majority of the game until netting two third-period tallies with Ashton Dahms striking at the 16:16 mark and Brecken Smith scoring an empty-net goal with 51 seconds left.
Omaha plays its next four games on the road, beginning with a singular game next Saturday at Lincoln at 6:05 p.m.
