The Dubuque Fighting Saints may feel slightly hard done by this overtime loss. They seemed dominant enough throughout the match-up, outshooting Muskegon 41 to 25 on the night. However, the Saints failed to capitalize on any of their 5 powerplay attempts; although, they were able to shut down all the Lumberjacks powerplay attempts for a second night in a row.
