MOLINE, ILLINOIS (December 23, 2024) — The Quad City Storm swept the Peoria Rivermen over the weekend to extend the team’s win streak to four games.

On Friday, December 20, the Storm travelled to Peoria and unloaded the offense in the first period, jumping to a six-to-zero lead and holding on to win seven to four.

On Saturday, December 21, the team returned to Vibrant Arena and emerged with two points in a thrilling shoot-out victory against their cross-state rivals.

Storm forward Leif Mattson was named SPHL Player of the Week today for his dazzling weekend performance. Mattson recorded a goal and four assists in Friday’s game and added another goal, assist, and shoot-out-winning score Saturday in front of the home crowd.

The team returns to home ice Thursday, December 26, to face off against the Evansville Thunderbolts on Winter Classic Night featuring $1 beers. The two teams will battle again Friday on Eras Night, featuring a pregame concert by Burning Red, a Taylor Swift cover band. Admission to the concert is free with the purchase of a Storm game ticket. Doors for the concert open at 4:45 PM and the concert begins at 5PM.
