TONIGHT'S MATCHUP: The Thunder head to Manchester to play their second of three straight games against the North Division leading Monarchs. The two teams have now met eight times this season, with the Thunder holding a 5-1-2 record in those meetings, with four victories from four games in New Hampshire.
FRIDAY THE 13TH: The Thunder and Monarchs played a high-scoring thriller last evening at the GFCC as they two teams combined for 13 goals on Friday the 13th. The 13 goals were the most ever in a game in Thunder franchise history. A season ago, the two teams took part in an 11-goal contest at the GFCC, which also included a season high 99 shots on goal.
THE MAC ATTACK: Adirondack Thunder captain Peter MacArthur contributed three assists last night in the defeat, his second consecutive games with three points. The 31-year old forward was one of six Thunder players with multiple points last evening and he now has four, three-point games on the season. MacArthur also leads all active Thunder skaters with 27 points (12-15-27) from 30 games played.
HANDSOME HANK: Thunder forward James Henry tied a career best with three points in last night's game. Henry collected a goal and an assist, the fourth time in his career he's scored three points, with the previous three coming as a member of the Stockton Thunder. Henry now has 18 points (6-12-18) in 28 games this season, just three shy of his totals from 2015-16 in 16 less games.
CATCHER IN THE RILEY: Rookie defenseman Conor Riley scored his first career professional goal last night and added an assist for his first career professional multi-point game. Riley is currently riding a four-game point streak, the longest active scoring streak on the Thunder. The 6-0 defenseman has now amassed five points (1-4-5) and a +7 rating in seven games this season.
DYNAMIC DEBUTS: Adirondack got multi-point games from forward Cullen Bradshaw and defenseman Ryan Culkin in their first game of the season with the Thunder. Bradshaw scored his first career ECHL goal and added an assist for his first career-multi point game in the ECHL. Culkin picked up a pair of assists in his season debut with the Thunder after he was assigned from the Stockton Heat earlier in the week.
FIELDING OF DREAMS: The Thunder claimed goaltender Drew Fielding off of waivers yesterday from the Reading Royals. Fielding has a 3-0-0 record with a 1.19 goals against average and a .961 save percentage on the season in four games with Reading. Fielding also appeared in 25 games with the Thunder during the 2015-16 season, where he went 11-11-2 with a .911 save percentage and a 2.68 goals against average.
