The Alaska Aces pushed back tonight -- their 4-0 win at Stockton earned them a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7, ECHL Western Conference semifinal series.
Gerald Coleman racked 22 saves for the bagel.
Goals from Ryan Cruthers (on the power play! Hey!), Wes Goldie, Nick Mazzolini and Jordan Kremyr.
The Aces outshot the Thunder 40-22, including 31-9 in the final two periods.
More later -- probably.
Game 5 is Friday night in Stockton.
Oh, the Aces have home-ice advantage back in their possession.
