The past week

Recent Games
Date Opponent Result
2/8 Chicago Lost 3-0
2/9 Peoria Won 1-0

The Iowa Stars split their two games of the past week to end their recent homestand with a 2-2-0-0 record.

After a disappointing 3-0 loss to Chicago on Friday night, a game in which they play well, the Stars bounced back with a 1-0 win over Peoria Saturday night.

Tobias Stephan stopped 26 shots for his fourth shutout of the season and Marty Sertich scored the lone goal.

"It really says a lot about the group because it was a very frustrating loss last night because they all really believed they deserved a better fate," Iowa coach Dave Allison told the Des Moines Register. "It really tests you. The pain tests you. They just pushed through. I'm really proud of them. ... That has the impetus to really springboard us going forward for this four-game road trip.

"We'll slowly but surely get ourselves back into this race."

Iowa, which remains seven points out of a playoff spot, plays four games in six days, all of them on the road, this week. They have two against Manitoba and then head to Texas for two games against the Houston Aeros, a West Division foe they trail by seven points in the standings.

Iowa/Idaho Notes
