Rapid City Rush | GAME RECAP: Rush Runs Through Idaho, Wins Eleventh Straight
(RAPID CITY, S.D.)—In one of the most exciting games all season, the Rapid City Rush blitzed past the Idaho Steelheads 8-5 at The Monument Ice Arena on Friday.
The Rush won its eleventh straight game, continuing its longest streak in the ECHL era and the second-longest in franchise history. Rapid City has now beaten Idaho in five consecutive meetings.
Ryan Wagner scored the lone goal of the game in the first period. Blake Bennett and Connor Mylymok added on in the second, but the Rush’s lead was just 3-2 at the second intermission.
The third period began with a Rush barrage unlike any other this season. Rapid City scored four times in the first 7:02 of the period, including three goals in a span of 1:25. Chase Pauls sniped his first professional goal to open the period’s scoring. Deni Goure picked up two consecutive power play goals, the second of which stood as the game-winner.
Idaho fought back hard with three consecutive goals to pull within two, but a Maurizio Colella empty net goal sealed the deal. Colella, who scored earlier in the third, tallied his first multi-goal game as a pro.
Deni Goure recorded his best pro game with a two-goal, two-assist night. He now has three goals and six points in the series. Five Rush skaters ended with multiple points in the game as Rapid City matched its season high with eight goals scored.
Special teams once again played a major role in the Rush’s success. With three more power play goals, the Rush stretched its power play goal streak to five consecutive games. Rapid City is 6-for-12 on the man-advantage in the first two games of the series.
With an 11-0-1 record in February, the Rush has completed the entire month without a regulation loss.
The Rush goes for its fourth consecutive series sweep tomorrow on Military Appreciation Night, presented by AARP.

Roland Steadham, the chief meteorologist at CBS Boise affiliate KBOI, died in a small plane crash on Tuesday, his employer confirmed.
The station reported that Steadham and one other person were aboard a plane that crashed into the Payette River near Emmett, Idaho. KBOI said that Steadham was an “accomplished pilot” and operated a small aircraft out of the Emmett Municipal Airport.
Steadham was a commercially licensed pilot and avid skydiver, according to his KBOI biography. His biography notes that he had “logged over 3,000 hours flying everything from competition aerobatics to twin-engine jets and gliders.”
The plane appeared to have clipped a power line before crashing into the icy river, the Gem County Sheriff’s Office said. The crash was reported at 10:58 a.m. Tuesday, the office said. Both occupants were fatally injured in the crash, the office said.
The other occupant of the plane has not been publicly identified. KBOI and the sheriff’s office did not specify if Steadham was piloting the plane at the time of the crash.
Steadham is survived by his wife, Erin, his six children, and his grandchildren, according to KBOI.
Steadham was a meteorologist for 35 years, won multiple awards during his career and “trained countless Meteorologists who continue to inform the public across the country,” according to his KBOI biography, He was previously the chief meteorologist at CBS affiliate KUTV in Salt Lake City from 2005 to 2009, and had degrees from Brigham Young University and the University of Utah.
Steadham was also an avid hiker and animal lover who would sometimes bring his dog to the station to watch his forecasts.
“Our community won’t be the same without him,” KBOI said.
CBS News senior national weather correspondent Rob Marciano said he had known Steadham for over 20 years and remembered him as “a great guy, a total pro, and a gentleman.”
“This is such sad and shocking news for the weather community,” Marciano said.
