Toledo, OH – Iowa Heartlanders forward Yuki Miura matched a career-high three-point night (2g) and scored the overtime-winning goal on the breakaway to upend the Toledo Walleye, 3-2, Sunday at Huntington Center. At 3:42 of the extra session, Zach Dubinsky batted it to Miura and the captain wristed it by Jan Bednar (OTL, 28 saves).
Iowa has won five straight games; the last four wins have been in come-from-behind fashion. Kyle McClellan won with 26 saves to move to 4-1-0-0 in his last five appearances.
The Heartlanders trailed by one to open the second, but scored the next two goals. Dubinsky one-timed a feed from T.J. Walsh in at the right post at 8:29 to tie the score. Miura received the secondary helper. Seven minutes later, Miura slammed in a wide-open dish from Walsh four feet atop the blue paint. Miura has scored a career best 18 goals and 33 points this season.
The Walleye tied the game at two with 15 seconds to go in the second on the man up.
