After sweeping a stretch of 3 games in 5 days against the Vermilion County Bobcats, the Thunderbolts look to keep the winning streak rolling as they travel to Birmingham for a pair of games against the Bulls this Friday and Saturday night.
Week In Review:
The weekend got off to a rough start at Ford Center on Friday, as the Thunderbolts held a 2-1 lead from goals by Coy Prevost and Mike Ferraro before the Quad City Storm rallied with three goals to defeat Evansville 4-2. On Saturday night, the Thunderbolts shut out the Bobcats 7-0, led by two goals each from Prevost and Cameron Cook, a three-assist night from Austin Plevy, and a perfect 25-save performance from Brian Billett. In Danville against the Bobcats on Sunday afternoon, the Thunderbolts managed a 2-1 victory off goals from Cook and Prevost, as Bobcat goaltender Ben Churchfield stopped 45 of 47 shots and was the only reason the game was close, with the Bobcats only tallying 13 shots on goal in comparison. The dam burst once again on Wednesday night at Ford Center, as the Thunderbolts blasted the Bobcats in a 10-2 victory, led by Plevy and Ferraro, who each scored two goals and two assists. Tyson Kirkby picked up a pair of goals, while Timothy Faulkner tallied three assists.
