Sioux City Clinches Playoff Spot With Win Over Fargo
Four of the six playoff spots are clinched in the USHL’s Western Conference, as the Sioux City Musketeers joined the party Saturday night.
Giacomo Martino had three points (1-2-3) and Samuel Urban made 40 saves as the Musketeers earned a 6-4 win over Fargo at Scheels Arena. Sioux City is currently fourth in the conference with 61 points, three ahead of Fargo and seven behind Waterloo.
A top-four finish would earn Sioux City a home playoff series. However, third is the highest the Musketeers can finish in the standings. They currently trail second-place Sioux Falls by 16 points with just seven games left. The USHL released its playoff format earlier this week.
Sioux City’s final stretch includes two games at Chicago, a home weekend against Dubuque, Cedar Rapids and Tri-City, and a pair of road games to finish out – at Waterloo and Des Moines. Sioux City has won three straight and is 7-2-1 over its past 10 road games.

@Musketeerhockey has secured their spot in the #ClarkCup Playoffs! #USHLThe playoff berth extends Sioux City’s playoff streak to six – not including the canceled 2019-20 playoffs – as the 2017-18 season was Sioux City’s last without playoff hockey. The Musketeers advanced to the Western Conference Finals last spring and held a 2-1 series lead before ultimately falling in five games.
The Clark Cup Playoffs begin on April 14 and two spots are currently left in each conference.
