The Mavericks came back for blood for their second game of their double header against Wichita. They face the same goalie as last night but blow 4 goals past him before he is relieved. They win 7-4 with 2 goals from Eric Freschi (as well as 3 assists) with the addition of goals from Bryce Aneloski, Greg Betzold, Matt Robertson, Justin Breton and Mark Cooper.
This game obviously had a lot more spark. Multiple fighting majors were dealt in the first period and a few occasional roughing penalties were found in the later periods. Both teams were almost equally as guilty as KC put up 29 penalty minutes to Wichita's 25.
Mason McDonald was able to keep his cool a little better even after Wichita scored the opening goal just lest than 2 minutes in. On top of that it was short handed. He was able to stay within his game and made 29 saves.
A story that carried with the team for tonights game was the fact they only found their selves with 4 defensemen after nagging and apparently new injuries. Hopefully these guys can take their few days off for the holiday break to rest up and carry the momentum from this game onto their next one on the 27th against the Tulsa Oilers.
