Mavericks squeak past the Allen Americans tonight in a 4-3 overtime victory. Mason McDonald was in net.
Matt Robertson was the overtime hero in this one just coming back for his first game after an injury. He was leading the team in points prior to his injury so it is nice to see he is making a smooth transition back into the swing of things.
They absolutely peppered the Allen goalie tonight putting up 47 shots to Allen's 26. This is the most shots they put on goal in a single game this season. They overshot them the whole game. Every period ended with the Mavericks almost doubling the American's on the shot clock. Allen also swapped those penalty minutes around tonight having 21 while the Mavericks only had 11.
Hunter Smith is keeping things consistent and seems to be putting up points every game or two. He put up KC's first goal in the 2nd period when they were trailing 2-0. Jared VanWormer also had a great night. He scored the tying goal with just over 2 minutes to go in the game and also had the helper on the game winning goal.
After this game the Mavericks hold a 6-1 record in games past regulation. They are able to keep the ball rolling throughout the weekend where they head to Wichita for a double header on Friday and Saturday.
