WICHITA, KS- The Wichita Thunder lost 5-2 to the Mississippi RiverKings at the INTRUST Bank Arena on Wednesday night. Paul Kelly put Wichita ahead at 7:40 in the first on the power play. After a rebound opportunity from Joel Hanson, Kelly located a loose puck on top of the left hashmark and ripped it past the left side of Tim Boron. The RiverKings tied the game 57 seconds later on a power play goal of their own. Ryan Held crashed the net and was able to control a backdoor pass across the slot from Darrell Stoddard and tip it beyond the left of Ian Keserich. At 9:55, another Kings' power play goal gave Mississippi a 2-1 lead. Matt Summers redirected Elias Godoy's pass into the crease for the score.
Mississippi broke the game open with three more goals in the second. Derek Landmesser scored on a high slapshot just under the crossbar at 2:42. On a two-man advantage, Ryan Held slipped in his second goal of the night at 8:47, cashing in a backdoor pass from Louis Dumont.
