Alex Breton potted the game-winner just 50 seconds into the extra session for the 3-2 win.

GILLY GILLY - Mitch Gillam continues to be a workhorse for the Thunder. He leads the league in minutes played (847), saves (497) and is tied for fourth with 7 wins.

He almost tallied his first goal on Friday night, but the official waived it off for incidental contact in the crease.
