Steelheads Get Repeat 3-2 Shootout Win

March 25, 2012 - ECHL (ECHL)
Las Vegas Wranglers News Release


Las Vegas - For the second night in a row, the Idaho Steelheads won 3-2 over the Las Vegas Wranglers in another shootout contest tonight.

A scoreless first period ended in a close shots on goal battle, giving Las Vegas the slight advantage over Idaho with a 12-11 lead. At the beginning of the second, Steelheads forward Aaron Lewicki tallied the lone power play goal of the game to give Idaho a 1-0 lead. Less than three minutes later, Wranglers center Scott Campbell was awarded a penalty shot, and his goal on Steelheads goaltender Jerry Kuhn tied the game up 1-1. Idaho quickly regained their lead 54 seconds later, though, and a goal from Steelheads forward Chad Nehring made it a 2-1 game through the second.

Four minutes into the third, Wranglers left wing Adam Huxley knotted the game 2-2, and much like last night's game against the same team, overtime and a shootout were forced when neither team could score again in regulation. In five rounds, Idaho once again collected the 3-2 win, sweeping Las Vegas this weekend. Wranglers center Chris Francis and left wing Adam Miller both recorded shootout goals for Las Vegas.
