Game Summary: October 21, 2005- RoughRiders 3 Chicago 2
<P>October 21,2005- Phil Axtell scored midway through the third period to snap a 2-2 tie and the RoughRiders went on to defeat the host Chicago Steel 3-2 Friday night.</P>
<P>The Riders got what proved to be the game winner when Axtell backhanded a low shot past Chicago goaltender Shaun Williams (37 saves) from the left wing circle at 9:30 of the third.</P>
<P>Axtell's goal capped off a see-saw night. The Riders were first to seize the initiative when, with 6:37 gone in the first period, Chad Costello shoveled a Ted Purcell centering pass home from the edge of the crease to open the scoring.</P>
<P>The Steel bounced back at 15:50 of the first as Joe Loprieno's drive from the top of the right wing circle tied the score at one.</P>
<P>The score remained deadlocked at the end of the first period despite the fact that the Riders outshot Chicago 16-6 in the opening twenty minutes.</P>
<P>The Steel would take the lead with a 5-on-3 power play goal just over six minutes into the second period. Nate Perkovich's backhander from the doorstep put Chicago up 2-1.</P>
<P>The Riders rebounded to tie the game on Nik Sellers' goal at 12:10 of the second. Sellers fired an Even Stephens feed over Williams from close range to knot the score at two apiece and set the stage for Axtell's third period winner.</P>
<P>The Steel pulled Williams in favor of an extra attacker with just over a minute and a half left in regulation, but Cedar Rapids netminder Al Stalock, who made 30 saves on the night and 14 in the third period alone, stood tall to preserve the win.</P>
