The Green Bay Gamblers dominated from start to finish Friday night at the Resch Center, rolling to a 5-0 shutout over the Sioux City Musketeers behind a four-goal first period and a stellar performance from goaltender Tomas Slavick.
Green Bay wasted no time taking control. Dylan Knutson opened the scoring just 3:11 into the game, and the Gamblers never looked back. Cam Conboy added his third of the season minutes later before Marco Carcone extended the lead to 3-0 on the power play at 10:02. Conboy struck again on another man advantage late in the frame, making it 4-0 after 20 minutes.
The physical tone of the game escalated quickly, with Sioux City piling up penalty minutes, including a double minor and multiple misconducts, but Green Bay stayed composed, striking twice on six power-play opportunities.
After a scoreless second period, the Gamblers pushed the lead to 5-0 early in the third when Carcone buried his second of the night off a setup from Conboy and Daniil Fedotov.
From there, it was all Slavick. The Green Bay netminder turned aside all 31 shots he faced, securing his first shutout of the season and improving to 8-5-2-0. The Gamblers matched Sioux City with 35 shots of their own, but their early surge proved to be the difference.
With the win, Green Bay extends its hot streak and continues climbing the standings heading into the back half of the weekend.
