After a rough weekend against the Bulls and Storm, the Thunderbolts look ahead to their lone game of the week, as they host the Huntsville Havoc for Halloween Night this Friday evening at Ford Center.
Week In Review:
The Thunderbolts fell behind 5-0 in Birmingham on Friday but nearly managed to come back in the third period as two goals by Dustin Hutton along with additional goals from Will van der Veen and Seth Bernard made it a much closer 5-4 loss. Despite Matt Koethe’s goal to open the scoring for Evansville on Saturday night, Quad City rallied to defeat Evansville 5-2, with Max Thiessen picking up Evansville’s second goal.
