HEY ROOK - Blake Tatchell and Brandon Carlson provided the scoring for the Thunder. Tatchell notched his fourth of the season that tied the game at one and Carlson cut the lead to two late in the second period. Three of the four assists came from rookies last night as Macoy Erkamps, Alexis Vanier and David Friedmann collected helpers.
