Tahoe’s Comeback Bid Comes Up Short as Rapid City Wins 4-3

Tahoe’s Comeback Bid Comes Up Short as Rapid City Wins 4-3

STATELINE, NV – The Tahoe Knight Monsters, proud ECHL Affiliate of the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights and the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights, were defeated by the Rapid City Rush on Friday the 13th by a final score of 4-3. 

 

In the first period, the Rush got the scoring started just over two minutes in as Hunter Donohoe scored his first goal of the season, giving the Rush a 1-0 lead. Just over six minutes later, defenseman Bobby Russell got Tahoe on the board in his return to South Dakota, and the two teams were tied at 1 going into the second period. 

 

The middle frame was all Rush as the home team scored three times: one from captain Ryan Wagner, one from Quinn Olson, and one from Alex Young to make it 4-1 Rapid City heading into the final period. 

 

In the third, the Knight Monsters made a comeback push. Shane Smith scored his sixth goal of the season on a 5-on-3 power play to make it 4-2 just 73 seconds into the third. Just under four minutes later, Noah Nelson scored his second goal of the season off a forced turnover as the Knight Monsters cut the Rush lead to just one goal. Although Tahoe had their chances to tie the game, Rapid City shut them down and held on for a 4-3 win. 

 

The Knight Monsters and Rush will wrap up this three-game series tomorrow night with puck drop at 6:05 pm PT. Pregame coverage on the Knight Monsters broadcast network begins at 5:50 pm PT.
