WILLMAR – Joey Gimberlin had a pair of goals and an assist to help lead the New Ulm Steel to a 6-1 victory over the Willmar WarHawks on Saturday night in NA3HL action.

Gimberlin first put the Steel ahead 1-0 with a goal at 8:01 into the first period on assists by Jack Parks and Stanislav Danaev before Keegan Bauman scored a goal on assists from Michael Savelkoul and Jacob Halvorson 31 seconds later to put the Steel up 2-0.

Willmar then got a goal by Dylan Svoboda to cut the lead to 2-1 after one period before Gimberlin added his second goal of the night in the second period on a power-play goal that was assisted by Teddy Lillico and Corey Stormer 10:29 into the period.
