The Lumberjacks come into this week tied for second place in the league with a 2-1 record and they are riding a two game winning streak after beating the Whalers last week. The Jacks are getting solid goaltending from Zach Lary who has a 2.67 save percentage which is second best in the league. The Jacks are led offensively by Jordy McGee and Christian Henault with 3 points a piece. The Gamblers come into this game with a 1-1-1 record after a tough loss to Ramunto's last week. The Gamblers are led by Matty Marrazzo, Dan Ammel and Topo LaCroix. The Gamblers are looking to get back on track as they have been inconsistent this year and looking to find some team chemisty. This game should be a pretty even game but Lary has been a wall between the pipes and if he can do it again in this game, he will be the difference tonight. The Jacks win this one 4-2.
