Quad City Mallards News Release


MOLINE, Ill. (November 29, 2014) - 8,714 fans- the Quad City Mallards' largest November home crowd in over 16 years- saw the host Mallards (7-5-5) fall to the Missouri Mavericks (7-9-0) 2-1 Satur day night when Andrew Courtney scored the power play game winner at 2:32 of overtime . The Mallards earned one point for the sudden death loss.

Courtney tipped in a Josh Brittain (two assists) blue line blast to consign the Mallards to defeat.

After the Mallards' Logan Nelson swept the opening goal home from the right wing circle at 12:10 of the first period, Missouri's Chris Crane tied the score at one by converting Brittain's centering pass with just 51 seconds left in the first. Neither team could break the deadlock over the final 40 minutes of regulation, setting the stage for Courtney to finish the contest in the extra period.

Tonight's attendance was the largest for a November Mallards home game since 9,207 watched the Mallards take on the Thunder Bay Thunder Cats on November 7, 1998.

The Mallards return to action Tuesday night on the road against the Mavericks. The Mallards next play at home on Wednesday night, December 17 at 7:05 p.m. against the Brampton Beast.
