Bensenville, IL (November 7, 2009) -  Chicago was looking for a split in Fargo, ND after dropping the first game of a back-to-back 4-1.

The Steel got right to work, scoring at the close of the first period on an unassisted goal by Mark Anthoine (Maine), giving the Steel the 1-0 advantage with seconds to play in the first. Anthoine now has five goals in his last five games played.

In the second, Fargo came right back with two goals of their own, including another power play goal from Alex Lippincott after Steel Defenseman Dan Kolomatis was called for tripping.

After two periods Fargo led 2-1.

Chicago pressed offensively, creating eleven shots on goal, in effort to tie the match late. Greg Wolfe pulled a rabbit out of his hat with a shorthanded goal, his seventh of the year, which tied the game at two apiece at the end of regulation.

The Steel’s continued pressure up front led to four shots on goal in the fourth frame, but a shot by Nate Schmidt brought the house down for Fargo 3-2 in OT.

Steel goalie Connor Wilson went 21-24, getting his third start of the year. His record moves to 1-2 on the year.

Chicago now comes home to play the Des Moines Buccaneers this Tuesday November 10th at the Edge Ice Arena.
