Wenatchee has returned to home ice to host their Texas rivals, the Amarillo Bulls, and they certainly took the bull by the horns in this game. The Wild would walk away from the ice with a 4-2 win in their pockets and another two points for the standings. Wenatchee is currently sitting only six points out of fourth place, and with the determination the team is playing with at the moment, those points will be attained in no time. The three Stars of the Game went to Tyler Rockwell, David Powlowski, and Jake Ahlgren.

There was only one goal scored in the middle period and it was credit to Dakota Raabe. This point was netted on the power play six minutes and thirty eight seconds into the frame with the assistance of August Von Ungern-Sternberg and Mike Coyne.
Wenatchee would receive their fourth and final goal eight minutes after the start of the final period when Tyler Rockwell beat Amarillo goaltender Jacob Weatherly. Tyler was successfully set up by Kyle Stephan. Tristan Rostagno netted the last goal of the match thirty seven seconds later with the help of both Will Harrison and Charlie Combs.
The Wild recorded 41 shots on goal throughout the course of the night as well as only four penalty minutes. Chris Jones was dealt a roughing double minor at the very end of the first period.
Michael Bullion was the winning goaltender for the night, and while playing a full sixty minutes, he stopped 20 shots on goal out of 22.
