Five For FightingHOME SWEET HOME

The Mavericks completed their season-opening road stretch this past weekend by earning a split against the Atlanta Gladiators. Seven of Kansas City’s first eight games were on the road, with the lone home game coming against Wichita. The Mavericks and Thunder square off in all three of the team’s first three home contests.

CARZO FINDS HIS TOUCHRocco Carzo entered the two-game series against Atlanta goalless on the young season but has found the back of the net in back-to-back games entering Friday’s contest. The Media, Pennsylvania native totaled 21 goals last season.

ROBERTSON STARTS STRONGMatt Robertson finished the 2016-17 campaign with goals in each of the final two games, and he picked up right where he left off. Robertson has five goals in eight games this season to go with five assists. He has seven goals in his last 10 games.

POTENT POWER PLAYThe Mavericks rank fifth in the ECHL on the power play, clicking at a 20.7-percent clip. The team is 4-2 on the year when scoring on the man-advantage and 0-2 when the power play goes scoreless. Additionally, the Mavs are 3-0 when scoring more power play goals than their opponents.

EYE ON THE PROSPECTSThe Mavericks are currently carrying six prospects from the Calgary Flames and Stockton Heat. Goalies Mason McDonald and Tyler Parsons, both former second-round picks in the NHL Draft, reside between the pipes while familiar face Darren Nowick returned on assignment from Stockton and Mike McMurtry and Hunter Smithjoin him in the forward group. The Mavericks also acquired defenseman Kayle Doetzel with Smith last week.

Five For FightingPLATZER GETS THE CALL

The Thunder lost its leading scorer and October ECHL Player of the Month Kyle Platzer when he was called up to Bakersfield of the AHL on Tuesday. Platzer had posted 14 points in nine games and held a plus-9 rating. Against KC, Platzer finished with two assists and a plus-1 rating.

EARLY THUNDER STORMThe Thunder have gotten off to a strong start with an 8-1 record through nine games. Wichita is second in the ECHL for points on the season with 16, trailing only Florida (17). The Everblades have played one more game than the Thunder so far.

GOALIES THE DIFFERENCEOne reason for Wichita’s success is the strong play in the blue paint. Shane Starrett leads the way with a .932 SVP and 2.15 GAA while Joel Rumpel has a .931 SVP and 2.52 GAA. Both netminders are in the top five in the ECHL for save percentage.

LAST MEETING VS KCThe Mavericks jumped out to a 1-0 lead as Darren Nowick beat Shane Starrett for the early edge, but four unanswered goals from the Thunder gave Wichita the road win. KC outshot Wichita 41-27 in the game and held a 34-11 advantage in shots on goal through 40 minutes.

SPECIAL TEAMS BATTLETonight’s game will feature two top-10 special teams units as the fifth-best power play in the ECHL will meet the 10th-ranked penalty kill unit. The Mavs’ power play is clicking at a 20.7-percent clip while the Thunder’s PK is operating at 86.8 percent. In the teams’ last meeting the Mavs were held without a PPG.

Mavs MinutesA Look Back

The Mavericks left Atlanta with a 1-1 series split after dropping Saturday’s contest against the Gladiators. The Mavericks fell behind 2-0 to Atlanta in the first period and drew back within one as Kayle Doetzel tallied his first goal of the year, but the Gladiators went on to win 4-2.

I’m Lovin ItMason McDonald has stood out in goal this season, now with a 2-0 record and a .910 save percentage this season. McDonald stopped 38 of 41 shots faced in his first start last Friday and then stoned the Gladiators on six of seven attempts in the shootout. McDonald, who has now appeared in three games this year, got his first starting nod of the season last Friday.

Power Play Packs A PunchThe Mavericks finished the 2016-17 season, head coach John-Scott Dickson’s first behind the bench, as the ECHL’s third-best penalty killing team with an 84.4-percent kill rate. This year it has been the power play that has carried the load on special teams, clicking at a 20.7-percent rate. The Mavericks are fifth-best in the ECHL with the man-advantage and boast a 23.1-percent road conversion rate.

Robby Picks Up Where He Left OffMatt Robertson has been one of the less heralded players on the Mavericks’ roster, but his play has been at the top of the team since the puck dropped on the 2017-18 season. Robertson has 10 points through the team’s first eight games with five goals and five assists, and he has seven goals in his last 10 games played dating back to last season. Robertson, who rides a three-game point-scoring streak into Friday’s game, joins Mike McMurtry and Rocco Carzo as the lone Mavericks to score on the power play this season.

Oh Captains, My CaptainsVeteran defenseman Tyler Elbrecht was named the sixth captain in team history, announced following the season-opening contest at Tulsa. Elbrecht is in his second season with the Mavericks, having played in 47 games with Kansas City last year. The team also assigned three ‘A’s to Patch Alber, Bryce Aneloski and Rocco Carzo. Alber and Aneloski are two steady defensemen while Carzo is the lone forward in the captain group. Carzo and Elbrecht both wore the A as alternate captains in Kansas City last season.

Mavs Packing Heat in NetThe Mavericks entered preseason camp with only one goalie, Ty Rimmer, who was traded to Greenville for future considerations after the announced additions of Mason McDonald and Tyler Parsons to the team from the AHL’s Stockton Heat. Both goalies bring polished resumes that include Best Goalie awards (McDonald - U-18 WJC, 2013; Parsons -CHL Most Outstanding Goaltender; 2015-16) and World Junior tournament championships (McDonald - U-18, 2013, Parsons - U-20, 2017). Both goalies were picked in the second round by the Calgary Flames in their respective drafts, McDonald going 34th overall in 2014 and Parsons 54th overall in 2016.

Straight Outta StocktonThe Mavericks are already seeing the benefits of the new affiliation with the Calgary Flames and Stockton Heat, currently carrying six players on the roster assigned from Stockton. In addition to goalies McDonald and Parsons, Kansas City received forwards Mike McMurtry and Darren Nowick during the team’s preseason camp and acquired forward Hunter Smith and defenseman Kayle Doetzel on Wednesday. McMurtry is a young forward who began his career in the AHL with the Texas Stars at the end of the 2015-16 season and he spent the majority of the 16-17 campaign in Austin with the Stars as well. Nowick is a familiar face in Kansas City, bringing parts of two seasons of experience with the Mavericks to the team this season. Doetzel is a defenseman who is entering his second professional season after claiming two assists last year with Stockton. Smith is a former second-round selection of the Flames in the 2014 NHL Draft, along with McDonald. The 6-foot-7, 231-pound forward won a Memorial Cup and an OHL title with the Oshawa Generals in the 2014-15 season.

For KC, Less Is MoreThrough eight games on the season, sample size is called into question with any trend. For the Mavs, though, the team is 0-3 on the year when outshooting its opponents compared to 3-1 when being outshot. KC is also 1-0 when tied in shots on goal.

K A N S A S C I T Y M A V E R I C K SRookies Looking To Make An Impact

The Mavericks will open the season with four rookies - defenseman Nate Widman, forwards Eric Freschi and Carson Dubchak and goalie Tyler Parsons. Widman was one of the Mavs’ first offseason signings, a solid defenseman who has demonstrated poise and responsibility along the blue line. Freschi and Dubchak are gritty forwards willing to work in the dirty areas and play around the net and Parsons is a high-end prospect in the Flames organization.

Lagace Claims First NHL WinFormer Maverick Maxime Lagace won his first NHL game on Saturday, Nov. 4, a 5-4 win over the Ottawa Senators. Lagace made his NHL debut last Monday, the fourth goalie in the short history of the Vegas Golden Knights. Lagace was called up to the NHL after an injury to Marc-Andre Fleury, and he found his way into the crease following injuries to Malcolm Subban and Oskar Dansk.

Husso Makes ThreeVille Husso became the third former Maverick to get the call-up to the NHL when he was recalled by the St. Louis Blues on Oct. 28, the date of the Mavericks’ first game against Wichita. Husso did not see game action and was returned to the AHL’s San Antonio Rampage.

Friday Night Ice Package Expanded To 10 GamesThe Mavericks’ partnership with KCTV and KSMO has continued to grow since its inception two seasons ago, with this year’s televised package including 10 home games, eight of which on Fridays, to be shown on KSMO TV. The full TV schedule includes home dates against Wichita (Nov. 10), Kalamazoo (Dec. 1), Tulsa (Dec. 31), Toledo (Jan. 19), Rapid City (Jan. 26 and 27), Cincinnati (Feb. 2), Indy (Feb. 16), Allen (Feb. 23) and Fort Wayne (March 2). Similar to seasons past, Joel Goldberg will provide the play-by-play while Simon Watson adds color to the broadcast.

New Divisions in 2017-18A new season brings a new divisional alignment to the ECHL. The Mavericks, who spent last season in the Western Conference’s Mountain Division, are now in the West’s Central Division along with the Cincinnati Cyclones, Fort Wayne Komets, Indy Fuel, Kalamazoo Wings, Quad City Mallards and Toledo Walleye. The Mavs will play a total of 32 games against divisional opponents during the 2017-18 season.

New Faces On The RosterMavericks head coach John-Scott Dickson stayed busy this offseason assembling a roster loaded with talent. Some newcomers of note include Mark Cooper, who was second in scoring on Rapid City a year ago. Cooper scored the empty-netter to seal the win against Tulsa in the Mavs’ season opener. Jordan Kwas, coming off a 20-goal season, was aquired from Wheeling via trade for defenseman Zach Tolkinen. Troy Donnay comes to Kansas City from Greenville after wrapping up a three-year Entry Level Contract with the New York Rangers.

On The Road AgainSimilar to recent years’ schedules, the Mavs are road-heavy through the beginning portion of the season. Seven of the team’s first eight games this year will be on the road, including the season-opening win at Tulsa. The Mavericks have this weekend’s pair of games at Fort Wayne, a Wednesday morning contest at Kalamazoo on Oct. 25, a midweek in Greenville on Nov. 1 and a pair of weekend dates with Atlanta on Nov. 3 and 4. The payoff comes on the back end of the schedule, when the team plays 16 of 21 games in January and February at Silverstein Eye Centers Arena.

New Name, Who Dis?The 2017-18 season represents a new beginning for the Mavericks, who officially changed their team name from ‘Missouri Mavericks’ to ‘Kansas City Mavericks’ on June 1. The name change came as part of an effort to better represent the entire fan base on both sides of State Line. With the new name also came a new NHL affiliation, as the team announced a partnership with the NHL’s Calgary Flames and AHL’s Stockton Heat at a June 8 press conference.
