It was a fitting end to the season series between the Green Bay Gamblers and the Chicago Steel, as the Gamblers skated away with a 3-2 win to advance to the USHL Clark Cup Playoffs.
After a scoreless first period, Ben Poitras scored two goals in five minutes to give the Gamblers a 2-0 lead. After the Steel tied the game up in the third period, the two teams played extra hockey for the sixth time in 12 games. It had a happy ending for the home fans as Aidan Park netted the game-winner with four minutes remaining to send the Gamblers to Muskegon for the second round of the playoffs.
Games 1 and 2 will be played at Muskegon on April 20th and 21st. The Gamblers will return home for Games 3 and 4 (if necessary) on April 23rd and 24th.
