Wednesday, February 2: Springfield 3 @ WBS 4 (OT)
With the arrival of the NHL All-Star Weekend this past weekend, NHL teams closed up their taxi squads. For Pittsburgh, this meant the return of Michael Chaput, Kasper Bjorkqvist, Juuso Riikola, and Pierre-Olivier Joseph to WBS just in time for three WBS home games in four days. First up was Springfield, in their first visit to Northeastern Pennsylvania since getting trounced 6-0 on December 12.
The Thunderbirds stormed out of the gate on Wednesday, getting goals from Tommy Cross at 1:18 of the first and Calle Rosen at 9:55 of the first to take a 2-0 lead.
