The Kansas City Mavericks face the Rapid City Rush for the first of a double header this weekend. Tyler Parsons is back and not to be confused with Mason McDonald as he will take over his #31 on his sweater for now. Chris Nell holds his #1 jersey.

John Schiavo gets his first goal of the season just 1:50 into the first period. He chips the puck over the left pad of the Rapid City goalie. Unfortunately, just 50 seconds later Tyler Parsons is caught sleeping and the Rush sneak one past him before he had time to put a pad down to stop it. The Mavs take the first power play of the game and it goes as quick as it comes. Not a whole lot done in the two minutes of a man advantage.

Rapid City pulls ahead at 9:25 when a shot is deflected over the blocker side of Parsons. He signals to the ref that he believes there should have been a high sticking call but the goal stands with little challenge. Greg Betzold takes a cross-checking penalty after blocking a shot and charging the shooter. No damage is done on this pk and it is actually cut short due to another slashing call against the Rush. Betzold heads right back to the box for trying to stop a short handed breakaway. Alternate Captain, Bryce Aneloski slams his stick against the boards in frustration. Mavs don't get a chance to set up a golden power play opportunity. Shots end even at 10 with the Rush leading 2-1.

6:24 into the 2nd, Rapid City makes this a 3-1 game with another goal from Pavel Jenys. He gets the credit for the 1st and 3rd goal at this point. 3 goals on 16 shots. Later, Tyler Parsons tries to break up a breakaway and ends up colliding with Mark Cooper of his own team. He does not seem too shaken up by it but goes quite a time without being able to grab his stick that flew to the corner. He stops some quality scoring chances to hold the rest of the period. The Mavs still stay aggressive in their offensive zone with multiple shots sliding through the crease just barely wide.

After a Mark Cooper tripping penalty in the third, the Rush are able to put another unanswered goal on the board on the power play. Rapid City finds and gets goal #5 after a shot Parsons thinks to have secured in his glove flips out and lands in. Tough beat for the #31. The toughest shots are what he's making the big saves on and some fluky goals just barely trickle past. Mark Cooper picks his goalie up and scores with just over 5 mins to go. Parsons was looking a little down on himself and needed that for a little pick me up. Shawn Pauly almost gets goal 3 for the Mavs but he deflects it with a high stick and it is waved off almost immediately. This was with 2 minutes to go.

And that is how the game stays. Final score Rapid City 5 Mavericks 2. Shots end at 36-29 for the Mavericks.
