Rush goaltender Adam Shute made 33 saves. Eric Penney and Tye Belanger combined on 43 saves for the Stealth.
The Rush will be back in Saskatchewan on Saturday to compete against the reigning Champion's Cup title-holders, the Georgia Swarm, at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon.
All of the jerseys worn by players in Saturday's game will be auctioned off to raise money for the Humboldt Broncos community.
Sixteen people died and 10 are still in hospital after the Broncos junior hockey team bus, carrying 29 people, was involved in a collision with a semi on April 6.
The auction started at 9 a.m. CST and ends at 4 p.m. on April 21.
