HEY NOW, YOU'RE AN ALL-STAR
HOME-AND-HOME

The Thunderbirds split the weekend with the Providence Bruins (1-1-0), with each team winning 4-1 in the process. Springfield topped Providence in the first of the two weekend match-ups. On Friday, Jan. 6, Juho Lammikko got the T-Birds on the board with his second tally of the season, followed by a goal by Chase Balisy. Jayce Hawryluk earned assists on both goals in the first, notching his first professional multi-point game.

Brody Sutter scored next for Springfield to put the team ahead 3-1 in the third frame before Weegar sealed the game with an empty net goal. Sutter's goal was his first goal in only his second game since returning from injury and his second point in as many games.
Reto Berra's 25 saves in the game gave him his eighth win of the season and put an end to Providence's six-game winning streak.

KID STUFF

Lammikko, 20, currently has goals in back-to-back games as he scored his third goal of the season in Springfield's second contest this past weekend with Providence. Lammikko was named the game's third star.
Hawryluk, 21, has recorded three points (0-3-3) over his three games played since returning to the lineup from injury. His two assist performance in Friday's match-up with the Bruins earned him first star of the game honors.

HE'S BACK…

Panthers 2016 first rounder Henrik Borgstrom returned to action for the University of Denver this past weekend after playing for Team Finland at the 2017 World Junior Championship. Borgstrom made an instant impact, registering two consecutive three-point performances (2-1-3) on the weekend against Arizona State. Dating back to his last game played for Denver on Nov. 23 against Wisconsin, he has now recorded two goals and an assist in each of his last three games played for the Pioneers. Borgstrom's 12 goals on the season leads all freshman skaters in the NCAA, while his 22 points ties him with sophomore Troy Terry for first on the club in scoring.
