Evansville, In.: Following a weekend split of their two final regular season road games in Pensacola, the Thunderbolts prepare to round out the regular season on Ford Center ice this Friday and Saturday night against the team they will likely see in the first round of the President’s Cup Playoffs, the Birmingham Bulls.
The Thunderbolts rallied from 1-0 down on Friday in Pensacola, with Grant Spence scoring the tying goal to force overtime, where Matthew Hobbs scored shorthanded to win the game for Evansville 2-1. Evansville nearly rallied again in Saturday’s rematch but fell just short 4-3, with two more goals from Hobbs as well as one from Lincoln Hatten. Cole Ceci played both games in net for Evansville, stopping 37 of 38 shots on Friday and 29 of 33 on Saturday.
