Chicago Steel News Release
GENEVA, ILLINOIS - This Friday, March 24, the Chicago Steel host Video Game Night as the team takes on the Green Bay Gamblers at Fox Valley Ice Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. CT.
Chicago can clinch a playoff berth Friday night with a victory or Muskegon loss in regulation. The team's magic number to clinch their seventh straight playoff berth is at two following victories against the Dubuque Fighting Saints and Madison Capitols this past weekend.
Fans Friday can enjoy video game-related promotions such as Console Controller Trivia, Minecraft Stack, and they'll be encouraged to show off their dance skills in a Fortnite Dance Battle.
Following Friday's game, the Steel head to Green Bay on Saturday night for their first and only road game in the month of March.
This past Saturday, the Steel earned their first win of the season in four tries against Dubuque with a hard-fought 3-2 victory at Fox Valley Ice Arena. Steel forward Jack Harvey scored twice with both goals assisted by Nick Moldenhauer. Goaltender Christian Manz stopped 21 of 23 shots faced to earn his 17th win of the season.
Sunday, Harvey broke the Steel franchise record for most career goals previously held by Matt Coronato with 66 (2019-2021), and Moldenhauer recorded his 100th career point as the Steel defeated the Madison Capitols 7-1 at Fox Valley Ice Arena.
For his performance this past weekend, Harvey earned USHL Forward of the Week honors for the second straight season.
