First Period Proves To Be Too Much For Steel
(October 29th, 2011) - The Chicago Steel have fallen behind by two goals in the first period in the past two games, but against the Muskegon on Saturday evening, two goals were too much to overcome as the Lumberjacks skated to a 5-1 victory over Chicago at L.C. Walker Arena.

Against Team USA Friday evening and versus the Lumberjacks a week ago, the Steel fell behind 2-0 in the first, but prevailed two-straight wins. Aidan Cavallini cut the Muskegon lead in half, 2-1, at 1:55 in the second period, but Dakota Klecha added his second goal of the game seven minutes later and Muskegon put up three goals in the second period to pull away 5-1.

For Cavallini, it was his first goal of the season, while Jimmy DeVito registered the assist for his seventh point (1g, 6a) in 2011-12.

Alex Sakellaropoulos started in place of Mathias Dahlstrom and made 27 saves. Sakellaropoulos was relieved by Adam Miller with five minutes left in the second stanza. Miller stopped 11-of-12 shots against Muskegon.
