DES MOINES, Iowa - Nic Petan played the overtime hero at Wells Fargo Arena Tuesday night, scoring 2:01 into the extra frame to give the Iowa Wild a 2-1 win over the Rockford IceHogs and extend Iowa's point streak to eight games.

Both Wallstedt and Arvid Soderblom (32 saves) came up with enormous saves in quick succession midway through the second. Wallstedt stoned Lukas Reichel with a sprawling blocker save moments before Soderblom stopped both Nick Swaney and Rossi off the rush.
Rossi and the Wild broke through with just 12 seconds remaining in the middle frame when Rossi fired a turnaround wrister through traffic and past Soderblom. Turner Ottenbreit picked up an assist on Rossi's goal.
The two teams entered the second intermission with Iowa leading 1-0 and the shots tied at 18-18.
Cole Guttman equalized for Rockford 1:38 into the third period when he slipped through the Iowa defense and put the puck under Wallstedt.
Iowa outshot Rockford 12-7 in the third, but neither team was able to break the deadlock in regulation.
