Thunder Falls to Railers on Teddy Bear Toss Night

WICHITA, Kan. (Nov. 29) – Wichita hosted Worcester for the second of a three-game series on Friday night, falling 3-2 on Friday night at INTRUST Bank Arena.

Jake Wahlin sent the teddy bears flying with his first goal of the season. Luke Grainger tallied his second of the year while Nolan Kneen had two helpers. Aaron Dell suffered the loss, stopping 38 shots. 

Wichita dominated the first period, firing 21 shots on net. Wahlin gave the Thunder a 1-0 lead at 7:18. He put home a rebound off a point-shot from Nolan Kneen and beat Michael Bullion. 

In the second, the Railers flipped the script and leveled the game. Anthony Repaci tied it at 3:46 with a wrister from the left circle that beat Dell. 

Repaci gave Worcester a 2-1 lead early in the third period, recording his second of the night. He fired a one-timer from the right circle on the power play for his 13th of the season. 

Colin Jacobs connected 39 seconds later with a one-timer for his first of the year to make it 3-1. 

Grainer cut the lead to 3-2 at 8:47. As he came into the zone on his off wing, he fired a wrist shot past Bullion. 

Wichita was awarded two late power plays in the final nine minutes but failed to get the equalizer. Dell was lifted with two minutes left, but Bullion stood firm and the Railers earned the win. 

The two teams combined for 88 shots on net. Wahlin scored his first goal since April 3, 2024, against Allen. Kneen finished with two helpers.
