After a power play opportunity for Evansville went without a goal midway through the second period, the Havoc countered to make it 2-0 as Frank Trazzera scored with a shot that went off the post and into the net. Despite pulling Stead, the Thunderbolts were held scoreless down the stretch, 2-0 the final score. Stead did his best to keep Evansville in the game, stopping 28 of 30 shots. The Thunderbolts and Havoc meet again on Friday, January 9th in Huntsville, with Huntsville leading the regular season series 2-1.
