Story By: Steve Newton
Bensenville, IL (December 18, 2010) -  Tri-City’s Matt Johnson scored with 1:40 left in overtime as the Storm snuck out of the Edge Ice Arena with a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Steel Saturday night.

Chicago once again found itself down early, surrendering the first goal of the game a minute, 47 seconds into the first period and the second at the 19:01 mark of the first.

The Steel bent, but they did not break in regulation, as they battled back to tie the score 2-2 on Alex Kubiak’s score at 4:44 in the second period and Garrett Allen’s equalizer at the 6:22 mark in the third. Adam Krause and Ben Kramer added assists for the Steel.

Connor Wilson made 28 saves in goal for Chicago, while Christopher Holden provided 29 stops for Tri-City.

Both clubs failed to score on the power play, with the Steel going 0-for-2 and the Storm registering an 0-for-6 showing.
