Notes:

The Chicago Steel fell to the Dubuque Fighting Saints 6-4 at Fox Valley Ice Arena Saturday night in their fourth and final preseason game …Similar to the Friday night between the two teams, Dubuque owned the scoresheet for the first two periods of play, scoring three goals each in the first and second periods…Chicago scored once in the second to momentarily interrupt Dubuque's attack, but the Fighting Saints scored twice thereafter to take a 6-1 lead into the third…Chicago offered a healthy reply with three goals late in the third but could not overcome the five-goal deficit.
