MOLINE, Ill. (February 18, 2011)– Eric Giosa scored at 3:10 of overtime to give the host Quad City Mallards a come-from-behind 3-2 win over the Bloomington PrairieThunder Friday night.

Box Score
 
Giosa- who also had an assist- weaved down the slot and wristed a spectacular game winner in off the post after the Mallards had rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the third period to force sudden death.
 
Quad City was up 5-on-3 when Brandon Marino triggered the comeback by slamming the puck in from the doorstep at 7:02 of the third.  The Mallards were again on the power play when Shane Lovdahl blasted the equalizer home from the left point with just less than four and a half minutes remaining in regulation.
 
Quad City’s third period revival proved necessary after the PrairieThunder struck for a pair of second period goals.  Jason Dale wristed the shorthanded opener from the right wing circle at 2:33 of the second.  At 15:36, Ryan McLeod doubled the lead by burying a rebound.  Mallard goaltender Adam Russo, who would finish the night with 35 saves, kept the Thunder off the scoreboard the rest of the way to set the stage for his teammates’ turnaround.
 
The Mallards take to the ice at home tomorrow night against the Fort Wayne Komets at 7:05 p.m.  The Mallards’ Alumni Weekend- presented by WQAD News 8, 97X and The Dispatch and Rock Island Argus- continues tomorrow evening, as former Mallards are welcomed back to the i wireless Center.  Among the Mallards of the past taking part in Alumni Weekend are Martin Fillion, Carl LeBlanc, Mark McFarlane, Howie Rosenblatt, Sergei Zvyagin, Steve Gibson, Kerry Toporowski, Andy Fermoyle and Drew Otten.
