LANCERS CAN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF POWER PLAYS

The Omaha Lancers dropped their Thanksgiving Eve matchup with the Sioux City Musketeers, 4-1, on Wednesday night at the Tyson Events Center.

Nikita Konevych scored the Lancers' only goal when he tied the game up 3:13 into the second period with a four-on-four goal, lasering the puck to the top-right corner for a four-on-four tally. Konevych leads all Lancer defensemen with two goals.

In a game featuring a combined 79 penalty minutes, 19 more than their first head-to-head matchup of the season, it was Sioux City (8-12-0-1) that took advantage of the ample power-play opportunities. It finished the evening 2-for-6 on the man advantage while Omaha went 0-for-5.

Luke Garry scored the lone goal of the first period with a power-play strike at the 19:24 mark off a cross-ice feed from William Tomko that he settled with his skate before poking the puck in. That tally gave the Musketeers their eighth consecutive game scoring a power-play goal.

Mason Stenger put Sioux City back in the lead with another Musketeers' power-play goal, this time at the 6:23 mark of the second. He fired a wrist shot from the edge of the near circle through four different players between the two teams to make it 3-1, Musketeers.

Kasen Muscutt added to the Sioux City lead, camping just past the far post and scoring off a feed from Daniil Butin behind the net at the 10:11 mark of the second.

Shayne Gould added to Sioux City lead with his USHL defensemen-leading seventh goal at the 10:54 mark of the third.

The Lancers are back on the ice Saturday on the road against the Lincoln Stars. The puck drops at 6:05 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on FloHockey and Mixlr.
