Late Overtime Tally Leads Steelheads to 3-2 Win over Wichita

BOISE, Idaho The Idaho Steelheads (33-27-3) scored the game-winner with just 24 seconds remaining in a 3-2 overtime win over the Wichita Thunder (24-29-9) on Friday night at Idaho Central Arena in front of 5,154 fans, the 22nd sellout of the season.THE GAME’S STO­­RYThe Steelheads took control of the tempo for most of the first period and were rewarded while in the midst of a change. Forward Mason Mitchell (17:45 1st) directed a back door play into the net as he snuck behind the defense for the 1-0 advantage. The Thunder pressed back and earned the lone goal of the middle frame, leading to a tight third period. Forward Ryan Dmowski (0:39 3rd) led off with an early strike for the one-goal lead, but the Thunder found one in the back half to force overtime, 2-2. The Steelheads and Thunder see-sawed chances, but defenseman Darren Brady (6:36 OT) took advantage of a miscue and sealed the extra point in the 3-2 overtime win.ICCU 3 STARS OF THE GAME1.
