Mavericks host the Cincinnati Cyclones today for a matinee game. Mason McDonald gets the nod between the pipes.

Both teams come out hot right from puck drop. I actually talked the head coach of the Cyclones on a podcast last week and he was very much looking forward to this game. Cincinnati is currently 1st overall in the league with a 41-10-4-3 record and 89 points. Kansas City steps on the gas and pressure the Cyclones a lot through the first period. Obvious standout was Jared VanWormer. He placed himself in two opporunities that could have very easily been goals. Loren Ulett absolutely crushes a Cyclone player against the glass and is jumped as a result. At the end of their fight, Ulett has drawn a power play for the Mavericks. No score in the first period but the Mavericks put up 14 shots to the Cyclones 5.

A crazy 2nd period as Mason McDonald appears to make a save off of Peterson's shot then Dorowicz comes back around to score and causes an eruption on the ice. A full out line brawl that led to 32 minutes of penalties split between the teams. Each getting a game misconduct, roughing double minor, and unsportsmanlike conduct. Later in the period, Corey Durocher flips in a rebound that his teammates had tried at over three times. Jared VanWormer and Joey Sides pick up assists. The game stays physical and in the last minute, the Cyclones pull ahead once more. Mavericks still hold the advantage in shots by 25-17 but are down by 1 on the scoreboard.

Mason McDonald gets beat on a shot fired from the blue line in the first five minutes of the period and the Cyclones go up 3-1. Shortly after, the Mavericks get a power play opportunity but are unable to generate anything on it. The Mavericks deflate after the third goal and do not get a lot of opportunities due to sloppy play. David Dziurzynski hits a Cyclone player hard, causing him to go down injured and start another line brawl. It appears to calm downs and start up again. Mason McDonald skates halfway up the ice but does not step in. The refs try calming guys down but Loren Ulett gets into a lengthy fight. Ice crew scrapes blood off the ice as the ref confirms the penalty rulings. A whole lot of penalties are dealt but neither team going on the power play as a result. Loren Ulett and David Dziurzynski get game misconducts among other calls and leave the ice. About a minute after that mess the Mavericks score! Corey Durocher gets his second goal of the night and Joey Sides picks up his second assit of the night. Greg Betzold also stays hot and gets a point on that tally. Kansas City pulls McDonald with just over a minute left in regulation and no more than 20 seconds later, Greg Betzold ties the game! Corey Durocher picks up his 3rd point of the night off the assist. This game goes to overtime.

Halfway through overtime, Rocco Carzo stops a shot that breaks his stick then hits him in the mouth. He is escourted off the ice by the trainer and appears to be in a lot of pain. Both sides get their turns at each other but neither are successful. Mason McDonald stops 35/38 through 65 minutes of play. This game goes to a shootout. None of the Mavericks shooters are successful and Cincinnati's 2nd shooter scores so they win this one. Mavericks still pick up a point in this game. I can't speak for the road games but this game was the best I have seen out of them this year. Absolutely outstanding performance.
