Rapid City, SD – The Iowa Heartlanders scored the first two goals, but the Rapid City Rush scored three goals in less than three minutes in the first period to erase a deficit and win 3-2 Saturday at The Monument. 

 

Peyton Jones stopped 20 shots in defeat. Matt Radomsky blocked 37 for his third straight win.

 

Iowa scored twice in a :26 span to take a 2-0 lead. At 8:57, Pavel Novak ripped a shot off a rebound by Radomsky, his fifth of the season. On the same shift, Novak fed the left-wing blue line seconds later and Chris Lipe ripped it top shelf for his second career goal. 

 

The Rush scored the next three goals in a 2:47 span, netting two from Logan Nelson and one from Alex Aleardi.

 

Iowa out shot Rapid City, 14-9, in a scoreless second frame. The Heartlanders fired 11 more on net in the third but could not score.
