Iowa after a win in OT against the Moose was looking to start a winning streak and they did manage to do so. Teemu Pulkkinen opened the scoring just 48 seconds in after Jordan Schroeder got the puck off of a pass by Eric Comrie and then failed to score on a wrap-around but managed to get the puck to Pulkkinen who scored his 5ht AHL goal of the year. Hunter Warner got the 2nd assist. Nick Saracino would make it 2-0 still in the first period after he scored by crashing to the net off a pass from Kurtis Gabriel.
