THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 2005: MILWAUKEE 4 - SAN ANTONIO 0

Milwaukee's Brian Finley had an answer for every Rampage shot on the night.

Finley stopped all 25 San Antonio attempts in route to a 4-0 victory over the Rampage at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.

The Rampage cut a 3-0 deficit to one midway through the third period at 3-2 when Juraj Kolnik and Joel Kwiatkowski scored late in the second and early in the third periods.

Kolnik's goal was set up beautifully by line-mates Stephen Weiss and Nathan Horton. After Weiss was able to feed the puck into Horton's hands, Horton delivered a no-look pass that caught Aeros goaltender Michael Smith off guard for Kolnik's one-timer.

Filip Novak and Petr Taticek helped Kwiatkowski at 10:18 in the third period and brought the crowd of 5,293 back into the game. After the goal, the Rampage controlled the puck down low in the attack zone, but Smith subsequently denied opportunity after opportunity.

At 14:19 in the third, captain Paul Healey took the puck behind the net and found a crashing Kwiatkowski who took a feed in front and chipped it over the shoulder of Milwaukee goaltender Seamus Kotyk for an insurance goal.

Travis Scott turned away 34 of 35 shots on the night for his 12th win of the season.
