LAST TIME AROUND

Henderson and Iowa met for a back-to-back two-game series at Orleans Arena on Nov. 27 and Nov. 28. The teams split the series, Iowa winning the first contest, 2-1, and Henderson winning the second, 6-5. In the former, the sole goal-scorer for the Silver Knights was Ben Jones in the first period. The second contest was inarguably the greatest comeback in franchise history for the Silver Knights, coming back in the final minutes from a three-point deficit to score four goals and take the win. Two of the five goals game from Colt Conrad and Jonas Rondbjerg in the first period, while the other four came in the third frame from Pavel Dorofeyev, Ben Jones, Jonas Rondbjerg, and Jake Leschyshyn, who scored the game winner.
