Tri-City (2-2-0-0) returns to action tonight following a 4-2 road win over the Omaha Lancers last night at the auxiliary rink at Ralston Arena. Mitchell Miller scored twice for the Storm in the victory. Haden Kruse and Drew Montgomery also netted goals in the victory.

Omaha (1-1-0-1) dropped last night's home game to the Storm after allowing four unanswered goals. Andrew Centrella and Garrett Wright each scored in Omaha's loss. Kevin Pasche recorded the loss in net for Omaha after making 20 saves on Tri-City's 24 shots on goal during the game. Tonight's road game for the Lancers will serve as the team's fourth game of the exhibition schedule. After games against the Sioux Falls Stampede and the Sioux City Musketeers at the USHL Preseason Showcase last weekend, Omaha will battle the Storm in back-to-back games before concluding preseason play tomorrow in a home contest against the Sioux City Musketeers.
