On Sop’s game-winning goal at 1:26 of the first, Gavin Hain passed from along the near boards to the Sop who cut across the crease to sink it past the goaltender. Will Zmolek also scored at two minutes of the third period, his first of the season.
This is McClellan’s second shutout this season. He earned his first Jan. 18 against the Tahoe Knight Monsters. Iowa has recorded five shutouts this season, extending a franchise record.
