MOLINE, Ill. - Steve Michalek made 37 saves on the way to his second shutout and four different Quad City Mallards scored as the host Mallards (20-19-5) blanked the Rapid City Rush (17-22-3) 4-0 Wednesday night.

The Mallards were up 5-on-3 when Mike Monfredo- who also had an assist- pounced on a rebound to score the final goal of the night at 8:04 of the third period.
