However, the Thunder would respond with a goal of their own by Roman Kinal with an assist from Jake Wahlin and Peter Bates. Both teams found the back of the net once and had twelve shots on goal.

As both teams went back to the ice for the second period of the game, both were looking for an upper hand on each other to give their team the lead. The second period got underway for the two, and both went back and forth with each other til, almost five minutes into the second, the Thunder would be called. Xavier Pouliot would be called for holding, but the Mavs would kill it off. But would Wichita took another penalty shortly after as Cole Coskey found the back of the net for his first of the night and then two minutes later would find the back of the net to put the Mavs up by two. Wichita would get one of those two goals back as Ryan Finnegan found the back of the net before the end of the period.

The third period would begin for both teams, and the period would fly by as the Mavericks improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2013, and Tad O’Had picked up his 100th career win.
