Omaha Lancers

Veteran forward Dakota Joshua tallied a power play goal with 1:57 remaining in overtime to lift the Sioux Falls Stampede to a 3-2 victory over the Omaha Lancers Tuesday night at Ralston Arena in the first preseason game of the year.

The Sioux Falls Stampede finished their run at the only home they’ve ever known on a bittersweet note Saturday night, falling to the Omaha Lancers 4-2 in front of a sellout crowd of 4,772 at the Arena.

It might be early in the season, but Omaha goaltender Cole Bruns is certainly making a name for himself. The Lancer netminder turned aside all 28 Stampede shots to earn his USHL record fourth straight shutout to start the season as the Omaha Lancers blanked Sioux Falls 2-0 on Friday night.

Industrial-strength goaltending combined with missed opportunities contributed to the Sioux Falls Stampede’s 4-0 loss to the Omaha Lancers on Friday night in front of a sell-out crowd of 4,772 at the Sioux Falls Arena.
