MOLINE, ILLINOIS (November 20, 2023) — The Quad City Storm recorded its second straight victory Saturday with a six-to-one smackdown of the Evansville Thunderbolts in Evansville. Matt Ustaski opened the scoring for the Storm in the first period, netting his league-leading ninth goal of the season. Leif Mattson followed the first goal with a pair of tallies to make it three to zero before Cole Golka scored his first of the night to increase the lead to four. Defenseman Chris Perna scored his first in a Storm sweater to put the Storm up five to zero after two periods. Evansville got on the board for the first and only time midway through the third period and Cole Golka answered quickly with his second to end the scoring for the night.
The win brought the Storm to .500 with a record of four-to-four ahead of a three-game series at home this week versus the same Evansville team.
