In a very close contest, the Rivermen scored the opening goal, a breakaway goal from Alec Hagaman, at 7:42 of the second period. Evansville responded well, scoring the tying goal only 28 seconds into the third period, as Cameron Cook sniped a shot past Rivermen goaltender Eric Levine, assisted by TJ Dockery. Despite that, some sustained pressure in the Evansville end resulted in the go-ahead goal for Peoria, scored by Brandon McMartin at 3:15. The Rivermen added an empty-net goal late in regulation to secure a 3-1 win, ending the Thunderbolts’ win streak at 4 games. Brian Billett made 21 saves in only his second loss of the season.  The Thunderbolts next face Peoria on Friday, December 31st at Ford Center, face-off at 7:00 PM CT.
