The Green Bay Gamblers will celebrate the end of 2024 with their traditional New Year's Eve game Tuesday night against the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders.
In their last game, the Gamblers held on to beat the Madison Capitols 2-1 in overtime to steal a sweep of their in-state rivals Saturday night at the Resch Center. The tightly contested game would see no scoring until William Samuelsson lit the lamp more than seven minutes into the third period. The Capitols would tie the game seven minutes later, and the game entered the extra period deadlocked at one. Lukas Peterson took care of business quickly for the Gamblers, registering the game-winner 21 seconds into overtime.
The Rough Riders are 3-3 in December, including a series split against Dubuque last weekend. They won the first game 6-3 before falling in the second game 4-3.
The puck drop is scheduled for 6:05 p.m.
