The 6’5” Dickman assisted on three of the Bruins’ scores at Soldotna to re-take second place, a point behind the Butcher.

Leclerc is sixth overall in scoring.
Wenatchee’s Troy Loggins scored a goal and had two assists in the Wilds double win over the Fairbanks Ice Dogs to move into the top 10 scorers in the league.

Magician’s goalie, Atte Tolvanen, dropped out of the top 10 to #12 after splitting two games against Janesville. Odessa’s goalie Yoshihiro Kuroiwa/Hokkoaido, Japan may have helped the Jackalopes turn a corner last week.
