Stinil Hat Trick Paces Thunder Past Steelheads

Stinil Hat Trick Paces Thunder Past Steelheads

WICHITA, Kan. (Feb. 14) – Michal Stinil notched his fourth-career hat trick, Matt Davis stopped 28 shots, and Wichita evened the weekend series against Idaho on Saturday night, 4-1, at INTRUST Bank Arena on Valentine's Day.

Jay Dickman and Nolan Kneen each had two points. Four others found the scoresheet in the winning effort. 

After a tight, defensive first period, Wichita took a stranglehold in the second. Stinil made it 1-0 at 14:41 with a wrist shot off the rush for his 11th of the year. 

At 16:26, Dickman made it 2-0 when he redirected a shot from Kirby Proctor near the right post. 

Early in the third, Stinil fired a seeing-eye wrist shot through a screen that beat Jake Barczewski for his second of the contest and a 3-0 cushion. 

Idaho snapped the shutout bid attempt for Davis with 1:45 left in the contest. Spencer Blackwell was assessed an unsportsmanlike during a post-whistle scrum and gave the Steelheads a power play. Francesco Arcuri beat him from the right circle for his 18th of the season. 

The Steelheads lifted Barczewski with a minute remaining, but Stinil found an empty net at 19:24 to make it 4-1. 

Wichita snapped Idaho's 10-game point streak with the win. Stinil has six points in his last four games. Dickman finished with a goal and an assist, giving him three points in his last two games. Kneen collected his 100th ECHL point and had two helpers. Kirby Proctor has assists in four-straight contests. Peter Bates added an assist, giving him points in four-straight outings. 

Wichita was 0-for-4 on the power play. Idaho went 1-for-4 on the man advantage. 

The two teams end their three-game series tomorrow afternoon at 2:05 p.m. at INTRUST Bank Arena.
