Boise, ID- The Steelheads (7-7-2) picked up two shorthanded goals this evening, but that was not enough to prevail over the Stockton Thunder (6-6-3), who earned a 7-3 win in front of 4,095 fans at Qwest Arena.

The Thunder picked up the first three goals of the game. Ryan Huddy opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal, unassisted, at 9:28.
