WICHITA, KS- The Wichita Thunder lost 4-1 to the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs on Sunday evening at the Kansas COliseum. Former Thunder forward Joe Blaznek scored a goal and an assist, while fellow former Thunder teammate Travis Clayton chipped in two assists.

With the Thunder still trailing by one, Curtiss Patrick was called for handling the puck, giving the Bugs a power play.
