The Green Bay Gamblers' 2025-26 season is over after falling to the Madison Capitols 2-1 in overtime Saturday night in front of 3,117 fans at Resch Center.
The Gamblers had a chance to force a second overtime but couldn't find the net, as Madison's Jack Pittsley ended it just 58 seconds into the extra period off a feed from Bergeson to send Green Bay home for the summer.
It was a tight, evenly matched game throughout. Both teams finished with 26 shots on goal and neither converted on the power play. Madison went 0-for-3 on the man advantage while Green Bay didn't get a chance all night.
Green Bay held the shot advantage in the first period 10-3 but couldn't get on the board. Madison struck first in the second when Geerdes netted his second of the year at 7:48. The Gamblers answered quickly, as Wooten tipped in his second of the season at 9:34 off assists from Jette and O'Malley to knot it at one. Neither team could break through in the third, setting up the overtime heartbreaker.
Gamblers goalie Henriquez was solid all night, stopping 24 of 26 shots in a strong effort in what turned out to be the final game of the season. It's a tough finish for a great season in Green Bay.
