Southaven, Miss. - David Wilson stopped 40 shots and Deven Stillar had a goal and two assists as the Mississippi RiverKings won their second game in as many nights as they knocked off the Mississippi Surge 4-1.

The RiverKings got the scoring started in the first period as Kevin Fukala pounced on a bouncing puck behind Nick Eno and slid it past the Surge's netminder to give the 'Kings an early 1-0 lead. Darrell Stoddard and Kyle Lundale were credited with the assists.

In the third period, Deven Stillar gave the RiverKings an insurance marker 3:10 into the frame, as he and Ken Selby connected on a two-on-one to give the 'Kings a two-goal lead.

The Surge wasted no time in answering back. Just over two minutes later, Phillip Ischi picked up his first goal of the season as he redirected a pass from Adam Stuart past David Wilson to cut the RiverKings' lead to one.

Thirty seconds later, Jeff Topilko ripped a Deven Stillar pass over the glove of Eno to give the RiverKings a 3-1 lead. With Nick Eno on the bench, Matt Whitehead tallied the empty netter, sliding the puck in from the red line.

David Wilson (12-6-2) picked up his second win in as many nights as he stopped 40 of 41 shots. Nick Eno stopped 15 of 18 shots against.
