KING MACARTHUR'S COURT: Adirondack is led offensively by forward Peter MacArthur, who leads all Thunder skaters with four goals from five games against Elmira. The 31-year old winger collected his first career ECHL hat trick on January 10 in the 5-1 victory over the Jackals. On the season, MacArthur is second on the Thunder in scoring with 31 points (12-19-31) from 36 games played.

Thunder skaters Peter MacArthur (3-9-12) and Patch Alber (0-12-12) lead the team with 12 points apiece on the man advantage. Alber's 11 assists are tied for sixth in the ECHL, while forward Ty Loney is tied for eighth with five goals.
WELCOME TO THE GUNN SHOW: Forward Gunnar Hughes was the lone Thunder skater to find the back of the net last night as he scored early in the third period to cut Adirondack's deficit to two goals. The goal came against Reading netminder Mark Dekanich, who was in net for Hughes' overtime game winner last season against South Carolina in the Kelly Cup Playoffs. On the season, the second-year forward has now collected 16 points (7-9-16) in 36 games played.
