Former RiverKing defenseman Jeff Alcombrack had four assists to lead the Youngstown SteelHounds over the Mississippi RiverKings 6-3 tonight at the Chevrolet Centre.

The RiverKings' (18-7-1) six-game winning streak came to an end as the SteelHounds (18-8-1) drew even with them in points with 37 for the Northeast Division lead.

Joel Irving scored 15 seconds into the game to the SteelHounds an early lead, but the RiverKings struck back at 3:33 thanks to Darrell Stoddard. However, Eric Przepiroka scored a pair of goals and Kirill Starkov also scored to give the SteelHounds a 4-1 lead after 20.

The RiverKings replaced Sebastien Centomo in net with Kyle McNulty at the start of the second period, but Irving scored again at 9:41 to make it a 5-1 game. Rick Kozak scored at 3:11 of the third period to give the RiverKings some hope at 5-2, but Peter Pohl's goal at 4:12 snuffed out any chance of a Mississippi comeback.

Louis Dumont scored with 5:09 remaining to extend his goal-scoring streak to four games.

McNulty made 14 saves over the final two periods for the RiverKings, who went one for 10 on the power play. Brad Roberts stopped 24 shots for the SteelHounds, who went two for seven with the extra man.

These two teams get back at it tomorrow at 6:05 p.m. in Youngstown. The pre-game show begins at 5:55 p.m. on Y 96.1 FM.
