The Rampage hopped on the board with 44 seconds left in the first period as Keith Yandle and Pascal Rheaume teamed up to help Lisin score his first goal of the night, a power-play goal.
The second period was highlighted by Iowa's fourth goal as Janos Vas fed the puck to Marius Holtet to go three up on San Antonio.
