NEW HIGHS – Wichita set a few new season-highs over the weekend. The Thunder extended their winning streak to five games, earned their fourth-straight road victory and snapped a five-game skid of games decided in overtime with a win on Saturday against Indy. Each of these feats are new season-highs.

POWER – Jay Dickman has assists and points in six-straight games (4g, 8a). He had two points in four-straight during this stretch. Dickman is tied for first in power play goals with 12. He needs 10 points to equal his career-high.

FIRSTS – Lleyton Moore recorded his first overtime game-winner of his career on Saturday night. He tallied his first game-winner of his career. Moore has points in three-straight (1g, 4a).

FIVE – Bradley Marek has been productive since coming back from San Jose. He has points in five-straight (4g, 3a). Marek registered his first power play goal since October 21 and third of the season on Saturday night.

WALK IT OUT – Kobe Walker has been a solid addition since joining the team. He has points in four-straight games (3g, 2a). Walker also netted his first multi-point outing and game-winner of his career on Friday night.

WATTAGE – Brayden Watts has been filling up the stat sheet in the assist department. He has helpers in five of his last six games and points in three-straight (1g, 3a). Watts snapped a scoring slump as well, recording his first marker on Friday night since January 7.

IMPACT – Mitchell Russell and Quinn Preston have made a big impact since returning to Wichita. Russell has goals in back-to-back games and three points over that stretch. Preston has assists in five-straight (6a). Both players have 11 points in 16 games this year.

FOUR OR MORE – The magic number to predict a Thunder victory this year has been four. When Wichita scores four or more during the course of a game, the team is 17-3-2. When the Thunder scores three or less, the team is 2-23-5.
