ANCHORAGE, ALASKA-- The Idaho Steelheads (13-9-2) fell tonight in Alaska by a 3-0 score in front of 4,162 fans at the Sullivan Arena in Anchorage. The Alaska Aces (15-7-1) scored first, and never looked back.

In the second period, the Aces struck first, as Erik Fabian scored his first of the season with 10 seconds to go in the frame; the assists on the goal were given to Vladimir Novak and Brett Hemingway. The second period did yield the game's first fight, as Alaska's Lance Galbraith dropped the mitts with Idaho's Matt Stephenson; tonight's contest marked Galbraith's first action against his former team this year. The second period also saw each team's penalty kill unit kill off five-on-three power plays.
The third period saw two goals, each coming from Alaska, as Fabian scored his second of the game, and second of the year at 17:48 to open the period's scoring. Assists went to Novak and Hemingway.
