assists went to Brendan Harris (Las
Vegas, Nevada) and Mitch Demario
(Franklin, Wisconsin) at 9:37, tying the game 1-1.
Eric Brenk put the visitors back on top as Thomas Lindstrom

scored on a tap-in at the left post. The assists went to Christian Salvato (La Verne, California) and River Rymsha (Huntington Woods, Michigan) at 19:33, cutting the
deficit to 3-2 through 40 minutes.
The two teams battled hard throughout the final twenty
minutes, with an empty net goal in the final minute sealing the deal for
Minnesota. Chukarov scored from Romanko and Johno May at 19:32, giving the
Wilderness the 4-2 win. “We need to make them work harder when they score” said
Wenatchee Wild Head Coach Bliss Littler. “We had a couple of bad turnovers that
they scored on. We had several good chances. Good hockey game, we had our
chances, we have to make them work harder to score.”
Shots were even 26-26 on the night. Chase Perry (Andover, Minnesota) made 22 saves, Austin Priebe (Wausau, Wisconsin) 0 for
the Wild, Kasimir Kaskisuo had 24 stops for the Wilderness. Wenatchee was
