Story By: Steve Newton
Bensenville, IL (January 1, 2011) -  The Green Bay Gamblers used goals by Jean-Paul LaFontaine, Travis Lynch, Grant Arnold, Sam Herr and Robert Francis to defeat the Chicago Steel 5-1 on Saturday night. It is the second time in two weeks that the Gamblers have skated out of The Edge Ice Arena with a victory over the Steel.
R.J. Boyd scored the lone goal for the Steel, the first of his USHL career. Adding the assist on Boyd’s goal was Tucker Brockett.

The Steel held the Gamblers scoreless for the first 34 minutes of the contest, but LaFontaine and Lynch scored three minutes apart in the second stanza to open up the flood gates for Green Bay.

Connor Wilson made 18 saves for Chicago, while Ryan McKay made 22 in the win.

The Steel are back at The Edge on Sunday for a 3 p.m. matchup with the Omaha Lancers.
