El Paso becomes the first team to break 100-points and moves to its 33rd win with the sweep of Dallas on Sunday. Oliver Soovik made 28 saves to reach his 13th win and fourth shutout of the campaign.
Six individual Rhinos scored goals while Sebastian Jovicic led with three points in the night. Dallas was able to suppress the Rhinos for the entire first period and kept them to just one goal in the second.
