STATELINE, NV - The Tahoe Knight Monsters, proud ECHL Affiliate of the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights and the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights, concluded their second season as they fell 4-1 to the Kansas City Mavericks.

In the first period, the Mavericks got out to a quick lead thanks to goals from Colby MacArthur, Jackson Berezowski, and Casey Carreau, as Kansas City took a 3-0 lead into the second period.

At the end of the second period, Tahoe broke the ice with a power play goal from Casey Bailey to cut the lead down to two on a two-man advantage with just 25 seconds left in the frame. As the two teams headed to the locker room, the momentum swung back in Tahoe's favor.

However, in the third, the Knight Monsters were kept off the scoreboard by Mavericks' goaltender Dylan Wells, and with Bobo Carpenter adding an empty-net goal to the scoreboard, the Knight Monsters' second season in the ECHL came to a close as Kansas City earned a 4-1 win, punching their ticket to the second round of the Kelly Cup Playoffs.
