Corey Durocher and Joey Sides are among two players currently on the injured reserve. Tonight the Mavericks host the Allen Americans in the 3rd and final game in their homestand.
I was not at this game but I followed the radio broadcast.
They did not have the best start through the first period. The Americans have been struggling this season and they did not really take advantage of that off the jump. They were outshot most of the period even though Allen has the highest number of shots against in the league.
In the second period, the Mavs came out with more gas in their tanks. Jared VanWormer opens up the scoring from a feed from Mark Cooper the C.J. Eick gets a short-handed goal. Eick is a tiny guy and head Coach John-Scott Dickson said there was a running joke about him scoring but after getting his first goal on the weekend he is off to the races.
In the third the Mavericks get another two goals courtesy of Jared VanWorme and Matt Robertson. VanWormer finishes the night with 3 points. Unfortunately the Mavs let in a late Allen goal and take away the shutout from McDonald but still leave the night with 2 points and a 5th home win in a row.
