Marco Costantini led the charge for Allen on Saturday night, stopping 35 of 36 Rapid City shots to earn the win. After a scoreless opening period, the Americans jumped on the board first in the second period, as Easton Brodzinski scored his team-leading 10th goal of the season, to put Allen up 1-0. Rapid City tied the game less than a minute later as Tyler Burnie put a backhander through the five-hole past Marco Costantini, for the only Rush goal of the night. Mark Duarte broke the tie later in the second period, scoring his second goal of the night. It would prove to be the game winner against his former team. Neither team scored a power play goal in the game. Rapid City went 0-for-5, while the Americans were unsuccessful in their only opportunity.
