SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - The Sioux Falls Stampede snapped the Tri-City Storm's five-game winning streak with a 2-1 victory Friday night at the Sioux Falls Arena.

Matt Bailey and Jacob Johnstone each scored for Sioux Falls, which outshot Tri-City 32-13. Bailey, who played in 58 games with Tri-City last year, pulled Sioux Falls even at 1-1 with his team-leading seventh goal of the year at the 16:31 mark of the second period.
