Jonny Sorenson opened up the scoring 1:51 into the game, beating Vyacheslav Buteyets from the left circle on Iowa's first shot on goal in the contest. Cameron Butler extended Iowa's lead to 2-0 second into the back half the opening frame, netting his first ECHL goal of the campaign on the first power play of the game.
