MEESH – Michal Stinil has been red-hot over the last six games. He has two or more points in four of his last six, two goals in three of his last six and points in each game over that span. Stinil took over the team-lead in goals (24) on Sunday with a power play goal in the third. 

200 – Jake Wahlin hit a milestone on Sunday, playing in his 200th ECHL game. He has 24 points (7g, 17a) in 55 games so far this season. He needs 11 points to equal his career high. 

 

FIRSTS – Nick Favaro recorded his first pro goal on Sunday afternoon. He was acquired in mid-February from Cincinnati. 

HELPING HAND – Lleyton Moore extended his point-streak to six games with an assist on Sunday. He has helpers in six-straight (7a). Moore is second among rookies with 15 power play assists. 

WATTAGE – Brayden Watts also extended his point-streak over the weekend. He finished with four points (1g, 3a). Watts has points in six-straight (2g, 6a). He needs seven helpers to equal his career-high from last season when he had 40.

BOUCH – Dillon Boucher recorded his first two-point outing of his career on Saturday. He has points in three-straight (1g, 3a). 

POWER AND LIGHT – The Thunder power play has been on fire this season and that trend continued over the weekend. Wichita has scored power play goals in four-straight games and goals in five of their last seven contests. The Thunder have two or more power play goals in three of the last six outings. The Thunder are third in the league, operating at 26% (46-for-177). 

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 17-4-2-1. When the Thunder scores three or less, the team is 2-24-5-0.
