SOUTHAVEN, MS --- Mike Berry's shorthanded goal in the second period backed up the 25-save performance of goaltender Robby Nolan in the Missouri Mavericks' 1-0 win over the Mississippi RiverKings on Tuesday, February 8th at Southaven's DeSoto Civic Center.

Neither team scored in the first period, as the Mavericks out shot the RiverKings by a 10-6 margin.

Missouri took the lead in the second period of play with a shorthanded goal from Mike Berry, his 15th of the season and second shorthanded tally at 1:01. The lead held up, as the Mavericks took the one-goal lead into the locker room after forty minutes of play.

That lead would hold up in the final period, despite the RiverKings outshooting the Mavericks 8-5 in the period and 25-22 for the game.

Neither team scored on the power play. RiverKings net minder Alexander Pechurskiy stopped 21 shots but the one goal allowed dropped his record for the season to 11-9-0. Nolan improved to 16-10-3 with his third shutout of the season.

Mississippi finished its longest home stand of the season with a 4-4-1 record and is now 22-22-2 overall. Missouri improved to 22-17-4 for the year.
