Cedar Rapids picked up a decisive win, Alex Pelletier extended his lead in the USHL goals category, and standout efforts from goaltenders Phileas Lachat and Michael Pradel highlighted a great night of Halloween hockey.

By the Numbers

2 - Goals scored by Madison forward Tyden Bergeson. The Augustana commit is now tied for the team lead in both goals (7) and points (10).

7 - Goals scored by Mark Carlson's RoughRiders in a 7–3 victory over Madison. Nick Romeo and Jason Musa each recorded three points to lead the way.

3 - Different Fargo players found the back of the net in a 3–2 victory over Sioux Falls. Boston College commit Graham Jones put the Force ahead early in the second period, and that goal stood as the game-winner.

13 - Goals on the season for second-year Lincoln forward Alex Pelletier, who added one to his total tonight in a 3–2 loss to Sioux City. A third-period tally from 2025 Phase 1 draft prospect Daniil Butin proved to be the difference for the Musketeers. 

22 - Saves by Tri-City goaltender Michael Pradel helped the Storm top Omaha, 4-1. The Detroit Red Wings draft pick now ranks fifth in the USHL in save percentage (.911).

39 - Saves from Waterloo’s Swiss netminder Phileas Lachat powered the Black Hawks to a 4–3 overtime victory over Green Bay. Ty Mason added a pair of goals, and Salvatore Viviano struck paydirt in the OT session.
