Mavericks get another shot at Allen for a Monday night contest. As expected, Tyler Parsons gets the start. Mavericks only dress 14 skaters tonight due to injury and the Doetzel call up.

First period starts similarly to last night. The Mavs put up a lot of shots early then the Americans start to work the other side of the rink. Another early close call came for the Mavericks when a loose puck found its way in dangerous territory but thankfully Tyler Elbrecht was quick on his feet and ended up on the bottom of a doggy pile on the puck. Looked like he had it under his glove. Parsons saves were spread out through the first 10 but more frequent throughout the 2nd half of the period. Mavs were good blocking the shots but a couple players were a bit slow to get up on some of them.

Period two was big for the Mavericks. Mike McMurtry scores two power play goals and Parsons doesn't give the Americans any room to answer back. Tonight's game visibly differs in the case that Mavs are finally taking advantage of the power plays. Allen shows why they have the worst PK in the ECHL. As Mavs are already 2/4 on the night.

Another power play for the Americans earns the Mavericks another power play goal. Getting them up to 3/5 on the power play. Mark Cooper rips one top corner and McMurtry picks up his 3rd point of the night. Patch Alber getting his 2nd assist.

Patch Alber gets a holding call midway through the third and Allen makes the decision to pull their goalie and play a 6 on 4 pp. This works on them and they beat Parsons for the first time in this game. He is fallen on top of and his leg appeared to bother him short after but didn't seem to be an issue for the rest of the game. Mark Cooper comes back on the rush and nets his second of the night. Mark Cooper gets a 4 point game with this goal with earlier assists on McMurtry's first two goals.

Mavs get their revenge after all winning it 4-1. Shots end 40-24 in favour of the Mavericks.

1st Star Mark Cooper
2nd Star Mike McMurtry
3rd Star Tyler Parsons
