The Green Bay Gamblers split their first two games at home against Youngstown last weekend and needed to win one of two games in Ohio to get the series back to Green Bay for a fifth and deciding game.

The Gamblers, who set a regular season USHL record for road victories (25), took matters into their own hands and earned back to back wins against the Phantoms to win the series 3 games to 1.

Youngstown got on the board first, getting on the board early (1:35).  The score stayed that way until the 8:34 mark of the third period when Nolan LaPorte scored the unassisted equalizer for the Gamblers.

Sam Herr put the game winner in the back of the net less than 3-minutes later and the Gamblers added a pair of empty net goals to win it 4-1.

Green Bay meets Indiana in the Eastern Conference finals but the schedule for the next round of games hasn’t been set.

The Green Bay Gamblers set a new franchise record for wins, picking up their 46th victory of the season in a 7-3 win over Muskegon at the Resch Center on Friday night.

The Gamblers fell behind 2-0, and then 3-1, before eventually scoring six unanswered goals to win. 

It was only the fourth time this year the Gamblers have allowed three goals in the first 20 minutes of play. 

Forward Kyle Nowak scored a pair of goals and Alex Broadhurst finished with four assists, scoring his 100th point as a Gambler. 

The Gamblers close out their home schedule tonight by hosting Waterloo.  They’ll close out the regular season with a pair of road games at Youngstown next weekend.  If the Gamblers win all three of their remaining games, they would set a new USHL record for wins with 48.
