GREEN BAY, Wis. – Led by Carsen Chubak’s first shutout of the season, the Tri-City Storm (19-17-6, 44 pts) beat the league-leading Green Bay Gamblers (30-7-3, 63 pts) on Friday night, 3-0 at the Resch Center. Radoslav Illo scored two goals for the Storm in the win.
The first period belonged to Chubak, who made 15 saves in the period, as the Storm was outshot 15-4.
In the second period, Illo scored his 15th goal of the season on a rebound shot at the 7:40 mark in the period. Tucker Long broke into the Gamblers zone and passed it to Brett Mohler, who fired a hard shot from the slot that bounced off Green Bay goalie Ryan McKay to Illo and gave the Storm a 1-0 lead.
Anthony DeCenzo scored a power-play goal 7:28 into the third period, as Jaden Schwartz passed it to DeCenzo in the bottom-left circle. DeCenzo scored his 11th goal of the season on a one-timer that beat McKay on the glove-side.
