(ALLEN, Texas)—The Rapid City Rush, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Calgary Flames, faces the Allen Americans for the fourth straight time. Puck drop is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. MST on Friday at The Credit Union of Texas Event Center.
LAST TIME OUT
Despite a season-high 46 shots on goal, the Rush fell short against Allen, 3-2, at The Credit Union of Texas Event Center on Wednesday. Rapid City scored just 1:19 into the game as Deni Goure whacked home a rebound on the power play for his ninth goal of the season. Ryan Wagner restored a 2-1 lead when he one-timed a cross-crease pass home early in the second. Allen responded with two goals late in the middle period to take a 3-2 lead, which they held from that point on.
…AND PENALTIES
Wednesday’s game was one of the chippiest of the season, with the Rush and Americans combining for 16 minor penalties. Allen committed ten infractions. There were three sets of matching minors called as well. However, no fights took place.
MODELS OF CONSISTENCY
Linemates Ryan Wagner and Blake Bennett have been remarkably consistent putting points on the board. Wagner has a point in seven of the last eight games, and 14 of his last 19. Bennett has pointed in four of his first five Rush games this season.
