The Mavericks are 4-2-0 against the Americans on home ice dating back to the start of the 2015-16 season. Wednesday will be the second of six home games for the Mavericks against Allen, but they won't see the Americans in Independence again until March 3, 2017.

The Mavericks were 1-0-1 on the road against Fort Wayne last season as the teams traded back-to-back 4-3 decisions on Feb. 24 & 26, 2016.

Mavs Moments

- Rocco Carzo tied Dane Fox for the team lead in points at 13 (6g, 7a) with one goal in each of the Mavericks' four games last week. Carzo has seven points overall (4g, 3a) in his last six games.

- The Mavericks are 5-2-1 over their last eight road games after starting the season 0-4-0 away from home. Five of Missouri's next seven games are on the road before it gets a three-game home stand from Dec. 16-19.

- Missouri's penalty kill has been a major reason why the Mavericks have been able to hold their opponents to an average of three goals per game (two per game in wins) over their last five. The Mavericks have gone 13-for-13 on the penalty kill, and have one shorthanded goal, in their last five games (4-1-0).

- Kevin Tansey picked up three points (1g, 2a) in the Mavericks' final two games last week to maintain his one-point-per-game-pace since joining the team on November 14. He has had a +/- rating of even or better in each of his six games (+6 total) and the Mavericks are 5-1-0 since he joined the lineup.

- Ville Husso has won his last two starts and is on his first personal winning streak as a pro. He has a .956 save percentage and a 2.13 goals-against average in his last three appearances. He came on in relief in Orlando on Nov. 22 and stopped 20 of 21 shots in one period of work.
