The Green Bay Gamblers are one win away from advancing in the Clark Cup Playoffs after beating the Chicago Steel 6-5 in Monday's opener at the Resch Center.

 

The two rivals matched each other in the first and third periods, but the Gamblers outscored the Steel 2-1 in the middle stanza to give them a chance to put away their opponents on Tuesday. 

 

Lukas Peterson had three points (2G, 1A) on the night, including one goal in a frantic third period that scored six goals between the two teams. Libor Nemec (0G, 2A), Julian Lutz (1G, 1A), Jason Shaugabay (1G, 1A), and Ryan Humphrey (1G, 1A) all had multi-point games for the Gamblers. 

 

Game two is set for 7:05 p.m. on Tuesday. If the Gamblers, they will face the Muskegon Lumberjacks in the second round.
