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.
Next game: Saturday, March 1 vs. Idaho. 7:05 p.m. MST puck drop from The Monument Ice Arena.

MISSOULA, Mont. — An Idaho Falls angler is back in the Idaho record books after landing a record-setting lake trout at Payette Lake.
Idaho Fish and Game said Dylan Smith caught and released a 43.25-inch lake trout on May 2, setting a new state catch-and-release record for the species. The fish surpassed the previous record of 42 inches.
The catch marks Smith’s second appearance in Idaho’s record books. He previously held the state catch-and-release lake trout record after landing a trophy fish in 2018 before that mark was later broken.
According to Fish and Game, Payette Lake has become one of Idaho’s premier lake trout fisheries thanks to years of management efforts aimed at improving both lake trout and kokanee populations.
Pride Month looks different this June along Boise’s Harrison Boulevard, where a long-standing tradition of hanging Pride flags on lamp posts has been put on hold after a new state law restricted which flags can be flown on government property.
For several years, Pride flags lined lamp posts along Harrison Boulevard in Boise’s North End neighborhood. But Idaho House Bill 561, signed by Gov. Brad Little in March, restricts which flags can be flown on government property, including the City of Boise’s Harrison lamp posts.
In response, a group of neighbors formed Pride North End and launched a distribution effort to help residents show support from their own front yards. The group has been making Pride flags and yard signs available to people who want to display them at home.
“I thought that I would…be a personal example of ‘yes, this is what I do.’ This is what I believe in,” said Edna Schochat, a North End resident.
Pride North End has already distributed more than 900-yard signs and 250 flags. The group’s original donation goal was around $2,000 to order 100 flags and 200 yard signs, but it has exceeded that GoFundMe goal, reaching $10,000 worth of donations.
The group plans to continue holding public flag and sign distributions through the end of the month.
“We cannot just say something without doing something that proves that we mean what we say,” Schochat said.
Pride North End said any leftover funds after materials are distributed will go to local LGBTQ+ nonprofits. A link to the group’s GoFundMe can be found here.
