The Iowa Wild came out a bit flat against the Cleveland Monsters (Columbus Blue Jackets), but after finding themselves in a 2-0 hole, the crew battled back to force overtime. It was Sam Anas showing off his mitts for the lone goal of the shootout as Iowa took home two more points in their third straight win of the season.
Niklas Svedberg (4-6-1; 2.74 GAA/.906 SV%) got his first start since his emergency call-up to Minneosta as Steve Michalek got some rest after two consecutive starts. The Sollentuna, Sweden-native was able to make 26 saves on 28 shots from the Monsters’ shooting gallery en route to the win.
