Chris Abbott scored his first goal as a Mudbug to put Bossier-Shreveport on the board. Jason Basile converted on the powerplay later in the third period to even the game. The game went to a four-on-four overtime where Joe Blaznek was able to elude the Mudbugs defense and slip the puck by Ken Carroll for the game winning goal. It was the first time Wichita beat the Mudbugs in four meetings this year. The Bugs set a season high with 56 shots on goal.
