Home cooking was the key ingredient for a pair of games between the Green Bay Gamblers and the Dubuque Fighting Saints.
On Friday at the Resch Center, the Gamblers broke a 2-2 tie with two goals in the third period to win the game 4-2. Nicholas Vantassell and Jayden Davis each tallied one goal while Raimonds Vitolins scored a pair of goals to give the Gamblers the win. Three of the goals came on the power play. Kristoffer Eberly stopped 27 of the 29 shots he saw.
It was a different story 24 hours later in Dubuque where the Fighting Saints scored two goals in the first and third periods to beat the Gamblers 5-3. The Fighting Saints scored the first two goals in the first period, only to have the Gamblers tie the game five minutes into the second period. A goal scored by Max Montes with three seconds remaining in the period changed the trajectory of the game as the Fighting Saints would score first in the third period and registered an empty netter for their final tally.
The Gamblers head to Michigan this weekend to to play Team USA on Friday and Saturday.
