Cedar Rapids, Iowa- Kent Patterson made 46 saves and Tyler Thompson scored twice as the host RoughRiders defeated the Sioux Falls Stampede 5-1 Saturday night.

Patterson stopped 23 Sioux Falls shots in the second period alone- a Rider season high for saves in a single period.

Thompson would start and finish the scoring for the Riders. He broke a scoreless deadlock with just over two minutes left in the first period by snapping a wrister past Sioux Falls goaltender Matt Lundin (20 saves) from the slot. At 15:26 of the third period Thompson finished off the Stampede with an empty net goal. The Riders followed up on Thompson's first by extending their lead to 3-0 with back-to-back power play goals in the second period. Brett Dickinson's blast from the left point made it 2-0 just 1:52 into the second. Matt Seidel buried a rebound at 12:04 to stretch the gap two three goals.

The Stampede would get on the scoreboard just over two and a half minutes later when Jordy Christian rolled a rebound in between Patterson's pads.

Aaron Bogosian's drive from the high slot reestablished the three goal Rider lead at 17:40 of the second.
