DECATUR, Ill. (October 10, 2010) - Alan Mazur scored the only goal and Marco Emond and D.J. DelBuono combined on a shutout as the host Bloomington PrairieThunder blanked the Quad City Mallards in Central Hockey League preseason action Sunday in Decatur.

Emond started in goal for Bloomington and stopped 14 shots before being relieved by DelBuono at 10:29 of the second period. DelBuono made four saves to complete the whitewashing.
