The Des Moines Buccaneers fall to the Sioux City Musketeers in a shootout 4-3. The Bucs are now 2-2-1 on the season. Sioux City opened the scoring in the first period with Mike Beck's goal just six minutes into the game. The Bucs fought back early in the second period when Trevor Lewis and John Vadnais scored back-to-back goals within the first six minutes of the period. Sioux City then got the lead back with back-to-back goals of their own. Spencer Heichman and Sam Gagner added two goals in the final six minutes of the second period. It did not take the Buccaneers long to tie the game at three when Kyle Okposo scored just 14 seconds into the third.

The score remained tied at three for the remainder of the third period to send it to overtime. The overtime period did not provide a winner in the hard-fought game. A shootout was needed to settle the score. Chris Spicer was able to put the puck past Buccaneers goalie, Troy Davenport, which proved to be the game winning goal.
