Iowa's 4-0 loss to the Cleveland Monsters on Sunday and the OT win last night basically sealed their playoff hunt.

On Sunday Iowa lost 4-0 to the Cleveland Monsters, one of their worst rivals in the playoff race with Alex Stalock still in the NHL, Steven Michalek started the game. Michalek made 26 saves on 29 shots, with one empty net goal against. Iowa got outshot 19-30 in the game.

Last night Iowa managed to win in OT with Stalock back but the playoff hunt is still pretty much over with Iowa 6 points back from the Monsters who have 78 points. Alex Stalock really got a good work-out in the first with 18 shots by the Monsters but he was able to stop all 18 shots.
