The first period saw the Wild out shot 14-5 but Tyler Graovac scored off of beautiful pass by Mario Lucia to make it 1-0 for the Wild. Graovac played a great game scoring twice and assisting on one goal and eventually being chosen first star.

In the second Jordan Schroeder got his 2nd of the year on the power play and Colton Beck got his 1st of the year by redirecting a shot by Gustav Olofsson in front of the net to make it 3-0. Even though taking a 3-0 lead Iowa got out shot 16-9 in the second period.

Steven Michalek played a very good game for Iowa making 36 saves including a few key saves. Michalek got 2nd star behind Graovac and Mike Reilly with 3 assists got 3rd star.

Adam Vay was the back-up for Iowa as Alex Stalock was apparently scratched. No info on Stalock has been released to say if he is injured or just scratched or possibly even released but we should see some info soon.

Iowa scored 3 times on the power play and went 1 for 1 on the penalty kill.

Also positive news from Russia as Kirill Kaprizov has really taken off as he had a 3-point game just last night. His most recent performances are really good and somethign to hopefully look forward to in a few years.
