The Green Bay Gamblers were able to get shots on goal but struggled to get them past goalie Jacob Fowler as they fell 3-1 to the Youngstown Phantoms.
Jaden Grant scored the first goal in the closing seconds of the first period to stake the Phantoms to a 1-0 lead. Sawyer Scholl tied the game in the opening minute of the second period for the Gamblers only to have Grant break it 14 minutes later. Kenta Isogai put the game well out of reach in the 10th minute of the third period to secure the victory for the Phantoms. Aaron Randazzo took the hard loss for the Gamblers, saving 29 of the 32 shots faced.
The two teams will square off again Saturday night at the Resch Center with the puck drop at 7:05 p.m on 104.1 WRLU and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com.
