Dominic Lutz put Topeka up 2-0 at 8:55 with assistance from Matt Jennings and Rennaker scored the third and last goal of the game at 16:05 in the third on another power play opportunity. Jasen Fernsler and Mike Gornall had the assists.
Wenatchee ended the game with a 10-4-10 shot record. The Wild were called on 4 infractions and they went to David Powlowski (High Sticking), Chris Jones (Kneeing) (Delay of Game), and Brendan Harris (Boarding).
Michael Bullion guarded the Wenatchee goal, and while being in net for 60 total minutes, he stopped 22 shots on goal out of 25.
