INDEPENDENCE, MO - The Kansas City Mavericks closed out their regular-season home schedule in dominant fashion on Saturday night, blanking the Rapid City Rush 5-0 at Cable Dahmer Arena.

The Mavericks capped it off in the third when David Cotton struck at 18:04, finishing off a feed from Nathan Dunkley and Jackson Berezowski to seal the 5-0 win.

With the victory, Kansas City improves to 46-18-5 and finishes the regular season with a 23-9-3 home record. The Mavericks will close out the regular season next week with a three-game road series at Idaho, beginning Wednesday at 8:10 p.m. CT.
