Mavericks host the Allen Americans today for an afternoon game. Mason McDonald gets the start.

Mavs take over the first period putting up 16 shots to the Americans 4. Hunter Smith missed a juicy one timer in the opening minutes of the game but made up for it in the closing minute of the game with a goal off of Mike McMurtry's rebound. Allen thought they had a goal midway through the period but Mike McMurtry was able to sweep the puck out of the crease before it crossed the line. Quiet whistle period with no penalties for either team.

Allen ties it 1:19 into the second after a rebound goes off they post and they bury it. Justin Breton gets a quality shot from the point and rips it off the crossbar. Eric Freschi dealt a monster of a hit by his own bench and the Americans retaliate by initiating a fight. He leaves the period with 12:37 to go with a game misconduct and 5 minutes for fighting. His misconduct came from spitting on the opposing player. Might result in a game suspension. The Allen Americans visibly get dirtier in their checks and tensions build across the building. They get some great opportunities through the end of the second but the score stays even at 1. Shots end 29-15 after 2.

Dan Correale blocks a shot at center ice and crawls back to to bench and needs to be lifted by teammates to make it over the boards. He did not return to the game.

Americans take a seat for a slashing call and the Mavs are slow to make the jump but put some pressure on in the 2nd half of the power play. Just over halfway through the 2nd a rebound comes up high in front of the net and Allen bats it in to take the lead 2-1. A turnover gets a one-timer set up for Allen and finds the back of the net glove side on McDonald with 3:47 to go in the game.

After a timeout Mike McMurtry gets a quick shot off the draw and closes the gap to 3-2 for the Americans.

Final score 3-2 Americans with shots 41-23 in favour of the Mavericks. They get another shot at them tomorrow
