Dillon recorded his first USHL shutout during Friday night’s game, stopping 39 shots in the process.

A 5th round draft pick of the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings, Dillon has had a great start to his first season in the league and currently has a 3-1-0 record with a 1.32 goals against average and a save percentage of .958.

Dillon is among the league leaders in all goaltending categories. The RPI-commit is currently third-best in goals against average, save percentage and total saves (137).

The Storm will host Color Out Cancer Night on Friday to support those who have been affected by cancer in Central Nebraska. The game will showcase a painted ice surface with memorials and well wishes from fans across the region.
