The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders tied a team record with five power play goals, Robin Bergman scored twice on the man advantage to set a new single season club record for most power play goals and Mike Seidel scored one goal and collected three assists as the host Riders defeated the Sioux City Musketeers 6-4 Wednesday night.

The win was the Riders’ thirtieth of the season. Cedar Rapids has now won at least 30 games each of the last four seasons and six times in the last seven years.

Bergman opened the scoring 10:08 into the game by burying the puck from the right wing circle for his record-tying fourteenth power play goal of the year. He eclipsed the mark originally set last season by Phil Axtell when he pounced on a loose puck at the edge of the crease and fired in his fifteenth man-advantage goal to give the Riders a 5-1 lead at 7:31 of the second period.

Bergman’s first goal kick started a three-goal first period outburst. Just 59 seconds after Bergman made it 1-0, the Riders doubled the lead when Ian Slater banked the puck in off of Musketeer defenseman Mike Beck for what would prove to be Cedar Rapids’ only even strength goal of the night.

At 13:21 of the first the Riders made it 3-0 when Evan Stephens jammed in power play goal number two from the doorstep. After Stephens scored, Sioux City starting goaltender Josh Robinson was replaced by Jerry Kuhn. Robinson gave up the first three Cedar Rapids goals on just six shots.

With the Riders again up a man Kuhn was beaten for the first time at 2:38 of the second period. Seidel tipped in a Kevin Wehrs drive to stretch the lead to four.

It would be the Musketeers who next converted on the power play. Phil DeSimone got Sioux City on the scoreboard for the first time at 4:50 of the second by whipping the puck past Rider goaltender Richard Bachman (38 saves) from the slot.

After Bergman wrote his name in the RoughRider record book less than three minutes later with the goal that pushed the lead back to four, Danny Dries would make more history for the Riders by scoring Cedar Rapids’ fifth power play goal of the game 13:15 of the second. Dries stuffed puck in over the goal line from the side of the net to widen the margin to 6-1.

The Musketeers responded ninety seconds later with another power play goal of their own. Sioux City trimmed the deficit to 6-2 when Donnie Hallmark deflected a Matt Crandell blast in under the cross bar. The Musketeers would claw back within two with a pair of goals in the first six minutes of the third period. Anthony Maiani scored on a shorthanded breakaway just 41 seconds into the third to make it 6-3. The Musketeers pulled even closer when Alex Tuckerman picked the top corner with a wrister from the slot exactly six minutes into the final frame.

The RoughRiders were able to protect the two goal lead the rest of the way as Bachman made 15 third period saves.
