The Thrashers defeated Kenora 5-1 with Gustafson scoring the lone goal.
“It felt good being on the ice with all the boys. Burying one tonight. Felt good to get that off my back and play some hockey. It’s good to be back.
Gustafson was out with an injury.
Next up for the Thistles is the Norman North Stars Saturday and Sunday in Kenora.
Gustafson says, “We just got to work hard in practice. Play a full 60 minutes through the whole game. Keep our head up to make sure no dirty hits or anything against Thompson.
