From that point on, Omaha scored four unanswered goals, including Vallis’ empty net goal with five seconds left in the game.
Adam Miller started in goal for Chicago and stopped 43 shots in his first start of the season. Thatcher Demko maded 26 saves in the win for Omaha. The Lancers outshot the Steel 47-28 in the game.
