2/20/2025

 
Northwest Express Falls to Dells Ducks, 6-3
February 18, 2025 – Poppy Waterman Ice Arena
The Northwest Express battled hard but ultimately fell short against the Dells Ducks, dropping a 6-3 decision on Tuesday night.

First Period:
Both teams skated to a scoreless first period despite several opportunities. The Express faced early adversity with penalties to Berge (cross-checking) and Liebold (tripping), but strong goaltending from Eberle kept the Ducks off the board. Dells was also called for too many men late in the period but managed to kill off the penalty.

Second Period:
The action picked up quickly in the second period. Clausen III opened the scoring for the Ducks just 34 seconds in, assisted by Jakshoj and Devlin. The Express responded at 3:01 when Aguilera buried his 11th of the season off feeds from Browning and Wolff. Momentum stayed with the Express as Alexander gave them a brief lead at 9:08, netting his 14th goal, set up by Wolf and Burch.
However, the Ducks answered back with Wilkey tying it at 11:14, assisted by Zaffarano and Wesley. A late power play proved costly for the Express as Scott scored for the Ducks at 19:01, restoring their lead heading into the third.

Third Period:
Trudeau extended the Ducks' lead at 7:03, but the Express kept fighting. Winter netted his first of the season at 10:46, cutting the deficit to 4-3, with Wolf and Burch picking up assists. Despite their efforts, the Ducks sealed the win with two empty-net goals—Scott's second of the night at 18:24 and Knieling at 19:51.
