FIRST ON THE LINE - Wichita travels to Allen on Wednesday night with a chance to clinch first place in the West. A Thunder win would essentially wrap up the division for Wichita with just Saturday's game remaining against Kansas City. The Americans finish the season with two games this weekend at home against Rapid City. ÃÂ
NO MORE OIL - Wichita wrapped up its season-series this past weekend against Tulsa. The Thunder came back on Sunday afternoon for a 4-3 overtime victory. Tulsa is the lone team that the Thunder has a losing record against this season. Wichita went 4-7-2 against the Oilers.
DORO - Spencer Dorowicz collected his third shorthanded assist on Sunday, giving him six shorthanded points and a tie for first in the league in that category. Dorowicz needs four points to equal his career-high from last season as he has 30 points (11g, 19a) in 61 games this year.
NEXT GENERATION - Matteo Gennaro collected his fourth game winner of the season on Sunday and his second that occurred in overtime. He leads the team with 25 goals and tied for seventh in the league in goals scored.
SHORTIE - Alex Peters recorded his third two-point game of his career on Sunday. He registered his first shorthanded goal of his career that gave the Thunder a 3-2 lead in the third period. Peters has 11 points (3g, 8a) in 33 games and is a +14. ÃÂ
OH CAPTAIN - Ryan White has points in his last three games and scored a big goal on Sunday to help Wichita climb back into the contest. The veteran forward from Brandon, Manitoba has nine points (4g, 5a) in 23 games. He was named team captain back at the end of April.
