BOISE, ID – The Idaho Steelheads (13-10-2-0, 28pts) defeated the Rapid City Rush (6-13-3-3, 18pts) Wednesday night by a final score of 4-3 in overtime in front of 5,256 fans at the Idaho Central Arena, the 47th consecutive regular season sell-out.

A scrum at the end of the first period would send Idaho on the power-play to begin the second period. The play started when Francesco Arcuri had a shot blocked in the right circle. It found the stick of A.J. White on the right side of the goal-line where he then slid it to Caron below the far circle where he directed it home 1:09 into the period. Hoffmann gave Idaho their first lead of the night at 8:11 when Matt Register sent a shot from the left point to the net. Hoffmann corralled the rebound at the top of the crease and snuck it past the left toe of Christian Propp. Just 1:51 later Rapid City’s Zack Hoffmann would tie the game at 2-2. 

Just eight seconds into the third period Connor Mylymok and Brendan Hoffmann dropped the gloves each receiving five-minute fighting majors. At 3:02 Connor Punnett (3rdreceived a stretch pass from Nick Canade down the left-wing side of the neutral zone. He got inside the near dot and squeezed the puck through the five-hole of Propp making it 3-2. With just 6:09 to play in the game Connor Mylymok tied the game at 3-3 eventually forcing overtime. 

Idaho was assessed a penalty with 1:47 remaining in regulation and killed off the remaining 13 seconds in the extra session. Then the Steelheads got a power-play of their own 45 seconds into overtime but were unable to convert. With just 44 seconds remaining Hoffmann (9th) banged home a rebound on the far side of the crease after Caron hit the post from the right circle.
