WEEK IN REVIEW - Wichita went 0-2 this past week. On Friday night, Colorado jumped out to a 4-0 first period lead and never looked back. The Thunder followed that up with a 5-3 loss at Allen on Saturday night.
THE CAPTAIN - Ian Lowe recorded his 10th goal of the season on Saturday, giving him three in the last three games. He had a pair on January 30th at Missouri, which pulls him into a three-way tie for the team-lead in that department.
THREE POINTER - Kale Kerbashian netted three points (1g, 2a) on Saturday against his old team, which is a season-high for him in a single game. He has 15 points (4g, 11a) in 14 games since coming over from Rapid City.
FIRST THINGS FIRST - There have plenty of firsts for the Thunder this season in terms of new opponents coming to Wichita. This weekend will be no different as the South Carolina Stingrays come to town for the first-time ever. South Carolina is the only Eastern Conference team the Thunder will face this year.
