Fargo ForceDrawCedar Rapids
Fargo Force host Cedar Rapids in a USHL matchup on 23 October 2026 that pits the second-placed hosts against the league leaders. Cedar Rapids hold a two-point advantage at the top of the standings, but Fargo Force arrive in exceptional form and will be favoured to take this contest.
Team form
Fargo Force
Fargo Force have been dominant over their last five games, winning all five and outscoring opponents 27–5. Their most recent outing saw them beat Green Bay Gamblers 5–1 at home, following a 10–2 rout of the same opponent the day before. They also recorded a 5–0 shutout against Sioux Falls Stampede and a 4–0 win over Youngstown Phantoms. This run demonstrates a team in complete control: they are averaging 5.4 goals per game while conceding just 1.0. Their offence is clicking and their defence is locked in.
Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids have been less consistent. Over five games they have won three and lost two, scoring 17 goals and conceding 16. Their most recent win came 5–3 against Sioux Falls Stampede at home, but they suffered back-to-back defeats before that: a 1–2 loss to Omaha Lancers and a 2–6 reverse against Madison Capitols. They recovered with a 4–1 away win over Green Bay Gamblers and a 5–4 victory at Dubuque. At 3.4 goals per game and 3.2 conceded, Cedar Rapids are more vulnerable than their league position suggests.
Head-to-head
No head-to-head record exists between these teams in the available data.
Key factors
Fargo Force's recent form is the defining factor here. They have not lost in five games and are operating at a level of offensive efficiency and defensive solidity that Cedar Rapids have not matched. The hosts' 5.4 goals per game average is nearly 60% higher than Cedar Rapids' 3.4, while their 1.0 goals conceded per game is less than a third of Cedar Rapids' 3.2. Fargo Force's defence is the stronger unit, and their attack is more prolific. Cedar Rapids' two recent losses—particularly the 2–6 defeat to Madison—suggest vulnerability on the road and in tight contests. The visitors will need to tighten their defensive shape and limit Fargo's transition opportunities, but their recent record does not inspire confidence they can do so against an opponent in this form.
Prediction
Fargo Force are clear favourites. They possess superior recent form, a more potent offence, and a more disciplined defence. Cedar Rapids' league position reflects their season-long record, but their last five games reveal inconsistency and defensive lapses that Fargo Force are well-positioned to exploit. The hosts' momentum and home-ice advantage compound the advantage. Cedar Rapids can score—they have shown that repeatedly—but they will struggle to match Fargo Force's output or contain the home team's attack.
Back Fargo Force to win. They should control this game and emerge with a comfortable victory. Cedar Rapids will find it difficult to keep pace with the hosts' pace and precision.
