Peoria, IL – The Peoria Rivermen got a pair of goals from winger Joe Kalisz and 24 saves from goaltender Peter Di Salvo as they cruised past the Havoc Friday night 4-1. The win, Peoria’s fifth straight, improves the Rivermen to 28-10-3, first place in the SPHL standings before tomorrow night’s game in Evansville.

Sharkey picked up the puck, circled behind the net, and stuffed a wrap around attempt under the left pad of Rivermen netminder Peter Di Salvo for the 1-0 Huntsville edge at 4:56 of the first period.
