Playing their 3rd game in 3 days the Iowa Wild played the Ontario Reign after two losses to the Charlotte Checkers and the game didn't get off that promisingly with Ontario outshooting them 8-2 until Alex Tuch got his 2nd goal of the year when he put in a rebound of a Jordan Schroeder shot. 9 minutes in. Adrian Kempe though sniped the puck in behind Steven Michalek 18:17 into the period after the Reign intercepted an Iowa pass.
Maxime Fortunus then scored to give Iowa the lead with a good shot from the point assisted by Teemu Pulkkinen and Sam Anas.
