INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI - The Missouri Mavericks historic home stand came to a close on Sunday evening with an unfamiliar scene at Silverstein Eye Centers Arena... a Mavericks loss. The Mavs fell 2-1 to the IceMen after an unfortunate re-direction of a Missouri pass sent the puck into an unguarded net in the third period.

The loss is only the Mavericks' third at home of the 2015-16 season. Missouri owns the top record in the ECHL, 41-7-2-1, and the most commanding home record in the league of 24-3-0-0.

Daultan Leveille scored the first goal of the evening for the IceMen 3:34 into the first period. Evansville maintained their 1-0 lead until defenseman Pat Cullity scored his second goal of the weekend (third of the season for the Mavericks) at 12:06 of the second period to tie the game up 1-1. Ross Johnston and Trevor Ludwig were credited with the assists on the play.

Net-minder Steven Summerhays left the ice for an extra Mavericks attacker following a delayed penalty call in the third period, when Tyler Barnes' pass attempt just inside the Tulsa defensive zone was re-directed off an Evansville skater the length of the ice and into an empty the Mavs' net. Spencer Humphries was credited with the game-winning goal.

The Missouri Mavericks play their next three games on the road, starting with a 6:05p.m. contest against the Indy Fuel on Tuesday, Feb. 23.
