Men's ice hockey scored a power play goal with just 1.2 seconds remaining in regulation to steal a 3-2 victory from Iowa State Friday night in Ames, Iowa.

The Lions capitalized on a power play just 39 seconds into the game when Riley Spraggs set up Tobias Nasgarde for a quick strike goal, but that would be the only offense from Lindenwood until much later in the contest.  Neither team found the back of the net the rest of the first, so the Lions held a 1-0 advantage heading into the second, a period that would belong to the Cyclones.  Iowa State tied the game and eventually took a 2-1 lead on two even strength goals.

That left the third period for some Lindenwood heroics.  The Lions tied the score at two on another power play goal with 14:25 remaining.  Jake Fairchild set up Mike Lozano who did not miss on the chance.  Both sides had opportunities to take the lead, but the goaltending was rock solid.  With the clock running down, the Cyclones took a penalty and Lindenwood went on the power play.  In a mad scramble as the final seconds of the period clicked off the clock, Spraggs and Mitch Riese gave Rock Einersen a chance and he split the pipes to seal the deal.  

Iowa State outshot the Lions 38-26, but Lindenwood net-minder MIchael Halls stopped 36 of the 38 shots he faced to claim the win.  Special teams was the key as the Lions scored all three of their goals on the power play, going 3-5 in man-up opportunities.  The Cyclones were held scoreless in three power play chances. 

Lindenwood improved to 2-4-1 overall and the victory was the second straight for the Lions after they started the season winless in their first five contests.  They'll go for a sweep of the two game set Saturday night against Iowa State.  The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. once again in Ames, Iowa.
