BENSENVILLE, Ill. - Tri-City (0-2) was unable to hold on after taking an early lead, losing 4-2 to the Chicago Steel (2-0) at the Chicago Edge Arena in Bensenville, Ill. on Saturday night.

Trevor Moore led the way for a second consecutive night for the Storm, scoring his second goal of the season. Garrett Gamez also got his first goal in a Storm uniform and Tim Bonner picked up assists on both goals.

Moore put Tri-City ahead just over a minute into the game, taking a pass from Eli May and backhanding it into the net 1:15 in. Chicago tied it up late in the period on a goal by Thomas Ebbing and it was 1-1 at the end of the first.

The Storm took their second lead of the game when Gamez found the back of the net on a two-on-one with Bonner 7:10 into the second period. Josh McArdle was credited with the second assist, playing in his home state of Illinois.

But the Steel scored two goals in the second half of the period to take a 3-2 lead heading into the third. After Tri-City couldn't capitalize on early opportunities to get the equalizer, Alex Roos put the game out of reach with a late goal.

The Storm went 0-5 with the man advantage while Chicago was 1-3.

In goal Johan Mattsson made 38 saves on 42 shots in his debut with Tri-City. For the Steel, Alex Sakellaropoulos made 44 saves and picked up his second win of the season.
