WICHITA, Kan. – Keeghan Howdeshell had a hand in all three Rapid City Rush goals with the first 3 assists of his professional career, but it wasn’t enough as Jack Combs scored a power play goal with 13.1 seconds left in regulation to give the Wichita Thunder a 4-3 win on Wednesday night. Ivan Prosvetov suffered his first loss at the ECHL level, stopping 27 of 31 shots on net (1-1-0-0). Howdeshell registered a career-high 3-assist and 3-point night, with the assists serving as the first of his professional career. Brennan Saulnier, Dexter Danks and Tyler Poulson scored the 3 Rush goals. The loss ends a three-game winning streak for the Rush and dethrones them from a three-way tie for first overall in the ECHL, now held solely by Wichita with a narrow one point lead in the standings.
