Coralville, Iowa — The Iowa Heartlanders overcame a pair of deficits to stun the Indy Fuel, 4-3, Saturday at Xtream Arena. Cameron Butler (2g) registered a career-best three points and factored in on both third-period goals to put Iowa in front. First, he assisted Keltie Jeri-Leon 2:01 into the third frame to tie the score. Next, Butler went bar-down on Mitchell Weeks (loss, 20 saves) with 6:37 remaining in the third to complete the comeback. Chase Wutzke made 34 saves in the win, including 14 in the third period.
Iowa fell behind, 2-0, in the opening 15 minutes, ceding goals to Christopher Cameron and Jadon Joseph.
The Heartlanders answered with a pair in the second, starting with Matt Argentina’s first professional goal at 6:06. Butler evened the game at 8:14, blasting a shot past Weeks off a turnover.
Indy regained the lead at 12:49 of the second on a snipe from Jesse Tucker before Iowa’s third-frame comeback.
