WICHITA, KS- The Wichita Thunder won their fourth consecutive game, beating the Arizona Sundogs 4-2 at the INTRUST Bank Arena on Friday night.

The Thunder used a three-goal third period to win their fourth straight game for the first time since the end of the 2005-06 season while also earning their first win against Sundogs' goaltender Doug Groenestege who entered Friday with a 12-0-0 record versus Wichita and lines of 1.33 and .949.

Kory Scoran snapped a 1-1 tie at 9:22 on a five-on-three power play, ripping a shot from the point that Groenestege deflected but could not stop from reaching the back of the net.  Just over a minute later, Lance Galbraith used a crafty wrap around move from the left post to give the Thunder a 3-1 advantage.  After Tyler Butler's goal at 12:06 narrowed the score to 3-2, Chris Falloon re-extended Wichita's lead by banging in a loose rebound to Groenestege's left.  Falloon had a goal waved off on a similar play in the second period.

Wichita took a 1-0 lead at the 7:25 mark in the first.  Chris Greene passed from the blue line to the slot where Troy Schwab made a last-second feed to A.J. Gale on the left side of the crease.  Gale finished the goal with a low shot past Groenestege's glove side.  Jason Williams tied the game at 7:42 in the second with a wrist shot from inside the right circle that deflected off of Marc-Antoine Gelinas and into the net.

Marc-Antoine Gelinas earned his second consecutive win, saving 25 of 27.  Groenestege stopped 33 of 37 in the loss.  Each team was 1 for 7 on the power play.  Jason Goulet and Lance Galbraith each had fighting majors.  Greene had three assists and finished +3.
