Andrew Dault netted his ninth of the season at the 2:46 mark, assisted by Cale David and Steve Mc- Leod, before Josh McAndrew struck at 10:52.
Andrew Perrault and Kevin Webb drew assists.
The Thunder then made it 4-0 in the third when McAndrew, from Justin Green and Webb, and Aaron Boyer (Kyle Schroder/Nate Weossner) scored before the period was seven minutes old.
K. Bruetsch spoiled Dan Hoehne’s shutout bid with a goal at the 12:11 mark of the third.
Hoehne faced 30 shots to earn the win while Liam Johnston, who also had 30 shots fired his way, was pegged with the loss.
