5/8 Recap: Isackson quiet as Herd eliminated

Christian Isackson recorded four shots on goal Sunday as Sioux Falls was eliminated from the USHL playoffs with a 3-2 overtime loss to Dubuque. Zemgus Girgensons ('94) scored just 2:38 into the extra frame to deal the Stampede a 3-1 loss in the best-of-five Western Conference Final. Isackson, who finished the ten-game postseason with eight points (3+5), went without a goal in the Herd's final eight games.

In the OHL Championship, Gregg Sutch dressed for the first time in nine games, skating just a handful of shifts as Mississauga lost an overtime thriller to Owen Sound, 2-1. The series is now knotted at two games each with game five scheduled for Tuesday in Mississauga.
