Cody Nelson: 1 Goal
The Winnipeg Thrashers ended the Wheat Kings winning streak tonight by defeating them 3 – 2 at the Gateway Arena in Winnipeg.  The loss, combined with a Pembina Valley Hawks victory against Central Plains caused the Wheat Kings to slip down into second place in the West, one point behind the Hawks and only one point ahead of third place Cougars.

The Thrashers were up 2 – 0 before Jesse Linner got the Wheat Kings on the board in the second period.  The Thrashers scored again short-handed to regain the 2-goal lead.  Cody Nelson buried one for the Wheat Kings to close the gap, but that was as close as the black and gold would get despite outshooting the Thrashers 42 – 25.

 

Ryan Thorpe turned aside 22 shots in a losing cause.
