BOUCH - Dillon Boucher recorded his first two-point outing of his career on Saturday. He has points in three-straight (1g, 3a).
POWER AND LIGHT - The Thunder power play has been on fire this season and that trend continued over the weekend. Wichita has scored power play goals in four-straight games and goals in five of their last seven contests. The Thunder have two or more power play goals in three of the last six outings. The Thunder are third in the league, operating at 26% (46-for-177).
FOUR OR MORE - The magic number to predict a Thunder victory this year has been four. When Wichita scores four or more during the course of a game, the team is 17-4-2-1. When the Thunder scores three or less, the team is 2-24-5-0.
