The Idaho Steelheads offense was due for an explosion, and that’s exactly what it got in the first period of Wednesday night’s win-or-go-home Game 4.

Idaho was shut out in Game 3 on Tuesday night and faced elimination Wednesday, down three games to none, with the threat of being swept out of the Kelly Cup Playoffs for the second year in a row.

The Steelheads beat the Tulsa Oilers 4-2, forcing a Game 5 on Friday night in Downtown Boise.

The Idaho Statesman reports, if necessary, Games 6 and 7 will take place in Tulsa. The Steelheads need to win all three to advance to the next round.
