By the Numbers

1 - Goal for Rio Treharne (Northern Michigan), who scored against his former team. The Minneapolis, Minn. native played for the Waterloo Black Hawks last season and now has two goals and two assists in six games with the Capitols. Waterloo's point streak extended to nine games, but Madison won 3-2 on Gustavs Griva's overtime winner.

4 - Goals in the second period for the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders, which snapped the Fargo Force's seven-game winning streak. Cedar Rapids jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first 3:38 of the game, but was tied 2-2 with Fargo at the first intermission. The RoughRiders used a strong middle frame and a two-goal performance from Carter Ernst (St. Thomas) to earn a split on the road against the Force, which didn't go down easy. Fargo tried to extend its seven-game winning streak with a four-goal third-period surge. Zac Zimmerman (Minnesota State) had one goal and three assists for the Force, while Bryce Mattern (Arizona State) scored twice for the third straight game. Mattern has nine goals and two assists in his last five games for Fargo.

43 - Stops on 43 shots for Omaha Lancers goalie Anthony Sciere, who helped the Lancers blank the Sioux Falls Stampede with a 3-0 lead at the second intermission and a three-goal spurt in the opening 6:01 of the final frame.

20 - Shots for the Chicago Steel to the Youngstown Phantoms' three in the third period made a difference as the Steel twice erased a three-goal deficit and used a three-goal third period, plus Anaheim Ducks prospect Jayden Kurtz's overtime winner (Wisconsin), to win 7-6. The Phantoms outscored the Steel 4-1 in a 9:48 stretch during the second period, with Lukas Zajic (Wisconsin) notching his third goal in three games and extending his point streak to four games.

3 - Points for Green Bay's Oliver McKinney (Michigan), who scored the Gamblers' insurance goal to make it 3-1 at 17:33 of the third period, then added an empty-netter. McKinney had the primary assist on Green Bay's first goal of the night in its 4-1 win against the Des Moines Buccaneers.
