The Green Bay Gamblers picked up a big road win Friday night, taking down the Madison Capitols 3-2 at Bob Suter's Legacy20 Arena in Middleton. 

It was a tight, defensive game for the most part, but the third period delivered all the drama as four of the game's five goals came in a wild final frame.

Green Bay struck first, getting on the board late in the opening period when Knutson potted his 13th goal of the season at 17:37, assisted by Martin and Brady. The second period came and went without a goal from either side, though the penalty box saw plenty of traffic. 

The third period opened with Madison striking quickly. Kwajah scored 43 seconds in on a power play, his seventh of the year. 

Green Bay answered on their own power play at 12:53 when Carcone notched his 13th of the season, with O'Sullivan and Katz as helpers. Just 44 seconds later, Drabicki made it 3-1 Green Bay with his ninth goal of the year off a feed from Jette. 

Madison refused to go quietly, as Pittsley pulled the Capitols back within one at 14:23 on a goal from Pittsley, but the Gamblers held on from there.

Green Bay goalie Henriquez was solid when he needed to be, stopping 18 of 20 shots to earn the win. Madison's Heil turned aside 15 of 18 shots in a losing effort. The Capitols held a 20-18 edge in shots on goal, but Green Bay made the ones that counted.

Another battle will ensue Saturday night at the Resch Center to close out the regular season with puck drop at 6:05 pm CDT.
