The Blazers started the third period the right way. Garrett Pilon won a faceoff and Matt Needham took the puck to the net scoring his 15th goal of the season 20 seconds into the third period. The Blazers trailed 2-1 with 19:40 to play.

Collin Shirley had a gift of a chance in the period. He stole the puck from a Thunderbirds defender and went to the goal alone, but was denied by goaltender Landon Bow.

The best chance for the Blazers came in the last minute with the goaltender pulled. Matt Revel fed Gage Quinney, but he missed the net on a one-timer.

Kolesar added an empty net goal to make it a 3-1 final for the Thunderbirds.

Connor Ingram stopped 25 of 27 shots, while Landon Bow was the game’s first star with 28 saves.

The Blazers were 0-for-4 on the power play, and the Thunderbirds were 1-for-2.

The Blazers will conclude their three game road trip Friday night in Everett.
