The Ice saw their winning streak snapped by Des Moines on Saturday in the home finale, but they've played pretty well on the road all season. This features two of the three most prolific offenses in the USHL, even though the Ice have the league's most dangerous line of Daniil Tarasov-Blake Coleman-Brian Ferlin and the Stampede have more balance -- no 20-goal scorers, and nobody with more than 41 points. These two are among the league's hottest teams. Sioux Falls has won four of its last five, outscoring teams 20-5 in that stretch. In their seven-game winning streak, the Ice had outscored their foes 34-6. Ferlin has a seven-game point streak going. Tarasov has scored in four straight games for the Ice. The Ice will most likely finish third in the USHL's East Division. They've clinched at least third, but are six points back of second with four games to play.
The Ice conclude weekend play Saturday at Fargo (32-21-4)
