2010 DU Recruit David Makowski had three assists as the Green Bay Gamblers won a dramatic 4-3 come-from-behind victory over the Indiana Ice in game two of the United States Hockey League Clark Cup best-of-five semifinal series.
“There were two passionate teams out there (Saturday night),” Gamblers’ coach Jon Cooper said. “Playoff hockey is emotional and this game was a pleasure to watch. Unfortunately someone had to lose and we’re just glad it wasn’t us.”
The Gamblers came out with much more intensity than in game one, as witnessed by the 4,147 in attendance.
“Our energy level was better tonight,” Cooper said. “The guys knew what was at stake and there was no way we could go down 0-2 at home.”
“We still have a little bit of a hole - we gave the home-ice advantage back to them and now we have to take it back.”
Makowski, a defenseman from St. Louis, Missouri played in the USHL All-Star game this season and played on Team USA that won a goal medal at the World Junior A Championships in Camrose, Alberta in December. He also netted 9 goals and 20 assists and was +23 during the regular season.
