SIOUX CITY, IA. - The Tri-City Storm hit the ice this afternoon at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, IA in a rematch with the Sioux City Musketeers following last night's thrilling 1-0 overtime victory. Arsenii Sergeev outdueled Musketeer netminder Alex Tracy in a goaltending showdown that ended in a scoreless tie after regulation time.

Following today's game at the Tyson Events Center, the Storm will return home to the Viaero Center next weekend for the first of four consecutive home games. Puck drop for today's matchup between the Storm and Musketeers is scheduled for 3:05pm CT.

Tri-City (8-2-0-0, 16 Points) has won eight of its opening ten games of the regular season for the third time in the past five seasons. Mitchell Miller's game-winning goal in overtime last night was assisted by Vinny Borgesi and Ilya Nikolaev. The Storm outshot the Musketeers 30-26 in the game to record the team's first victory of the year in the season series. Today's game is the third matchup of nine scheduled meetings this season between the Storm and the Musketeers. Goalscorers for Tri-City through the opening ten games of the season include Jeremy Wilmer (5), Gavin Brindley (5), Michell Miller (4), Cole O'Hara (3), Lleyton Roed (3), Graham Gamache (3), Ilya Nikolaev (2), Kieran Cebrian (2), Victor Czerneckianair, Tanner Adams, Drew Montgomery, and Dane Dowiak.

The Storm has now won three consecutive games for the second time in the 2021-2022 regular season.

Sioux City (6-2-2-1, 15 Points) has collected at least one point in the standings in each of its last seven games after last night's shutout home loss to the Storm.
