WHAT TO WATCH FOR

• HISTORIC SWEEP: Idaho Central Arena in Boise is as tough a place to play in the ECHL, and the Rush’s sweep in that building created some history. It was Rapid City’s first three-game sweep in Idaho in team history, and its first sweep over the Steelheads—in any location—since November 2019. Further, it is only the second time since 2017 Idaho has been swept on their home ice.
• DAVIS AT HIS BEST: Brett Davis just put together the best week of his professional career out in Boise. The Rush’s alternate captain kicked off the series with his first pro hat trick on Wednesday, then followed it up with a first-period goal on Friday. For his efforts, Davis was named the Inglasco ECHL Player of the Week, the first Rush player to earn the honor in two seasons. Davis, also one of the Rush’s most trusted faceoff takers, leads the team with five goals on the season.
• BRICK WALLS: No matter who the Rush has thrown in net over the last four games, the goaltending has done its job and more. Matt Radomsky started—and won—three consecutive games, then Connor Murphy took over and delivered a 37-save shutout last time out. Those two have combined to go 157-for-164 during this winning stretch, a .957 save percentage, while averaging more than 40 shots faced a night.
• BILLY THE KID: The Rush’s active four-game winning streak started with a Billy Constantinou game-winning goal on November 9 vs. Kansas City. It continued with another Constantinou GWG on November 16 in Idaho. The 23-year-old Rush defenseman has scored twice this season, both goals ending up as game-winners.
