INDEPENDENCE, Missouri - The Allen Americans lost to the Missouri Mavericks 3-0 tonight at the Independence Event Center. The loss puts Allen's record at 28-10-3 (59 points).

Missouri posted two late power play goals from Mike Burgoyne and Jeff MacDermid to give the Mavericks a 2-0 advantage heading into the locker room.
Just over two minutes into the middle frame, Braden Walls scored on a one timer to bring increase the Mavericks' lead to three. After the goal, the Americans shut Missouri down and stayed out of the penalty box the rest of the game, except for one trip to the sin bin from Colton Yellow Horn.
