Hitting The Road

Bensenville, IL (November 6, 2009) -  The Chicago Steel made the ten hour, 628 mile trip from the Edge Ice Arena to Fargo, North Dakota this week.

 The Steel are (3-2) in their last 5 games and (7-3) overall.

On the other side, Fargo (3-2) in their last five and (4-5) overall hoped to gain at least a split with the Steel at the Urban Plains Center.

Chicago couldn’t get it going on offense, however, managing only twelve shots on goal while Fargo created 35 opportunities and made it count when it mattered most.

After an interference call on Steel Defenseman Zack Rall, five minutes into the second period, Force Forward Chad Demers had the extra room he would need to record his second goal of the year, 1-0 Fargo at that point.

Corey Leivermann extended the lead out to 2-0 almost two minutes later on a brisk pass from Forward Alex Lippincott.

In the third, Chicago’s Andrei Kuchin went to the penalty box for hooking. Fargo took advantage of yet another power play opportunity when Forward  Nate Condon found the back of the net four minutes into the period to build a 3-0 lead.

Fargo’s third power play goal came with two and a half minutes to go after Corey Leivermann picked up his second goal of the contest.

Chicago managed to get on the board with an unassisted goal from Mark Adams (Providence College), eighteen minutes into the third period for a final score of 4-1.

Chicago remains in Fargo for game two this Saturday November 7^th.
