SHOOTOUT SUCCESS: Tuesday's shootout victory for the Thunder was their first on home ice this season and their second in five tries in 2016-17. James Henry scored his second shootout goal of the season, the game-winning goal, making him the team leader for the season. Greg Wolfe also scored on his first attempt of 2016-17, joining Henry and Peter MacArthur as Thunder players with shootout goals on the season.
HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLFE: Forward Greg Wolfe collected his second consecutive three-point game as he netted a goal and an assist in Tuesday's win over Reading. Wolfe's goal served as the game-tying marker late in the third period to force overtime. On the season, Wolfe has vaulted into a tie for fourth on the team in scoring with 23 points (9-14-23) in 37 games played.
THE GRAND MAC: Adirondack Thunder forward Peter MacArthur also collected multiple points in Tuesday's win as he assisted on both Thunder goals on the evening. MacArthur's two helpers marked his sixth multi-point game of the season and his 19 assists are tied with defenseman Alex Wall for the overall team lead. MacArthur ranks second in scoring on the Thunder with 31 points, one point behind teammate Ty Loney.
AGENT J.P.: Goaltender J.P. Anderson earned his first home victory of the season as a member of the Thunder, as he made 36 saves on 38 shots in Tuesday's game against Reading. Anderson's 36 saves were a Thunder season high on home ice and were one shy of his season high of 37 saves, made on January 4 in Norfolk. Between Adirondack and Wheeling this season, Anderson is now 8-3-2 with a 2.65 goals against average and a .912 save percentage.
