Another night, another well fought win for the Iowa Wild who have now won their fifth straight contest and move to fourth in the standings with a few other Central Division match ups set to be played out tomorrow. Grand Rapids had a lot of fight in them, literally and figuratively, and the tone has definitely been set for their next nine meetings over the course of this 2017-18 campaign.
Steve Michalek (3-0-0; 2.00 GAA/.938 SV%) got the start in net for Iowa and earned his third straight win to start the season making 28 saves on 30 attempts from Grand Rapids.
