The Mavericks opened the scoreboard at 9:35 of the first period when Ross Johnston redirected the puck past goaltender Sam Marotta. Matt Finn and Rocco Carzo were credited with the assists on Johnston's fouth goal of the season for the Mavs.

Missouri held their 1-0 lead through to the end of second frame until David de Kastrozza scored 2:35 into the final period with the help of Trevor Ludwig and Reed Seckel. Tyler Barnes then expanded the home team's lead to 3-0 at 17:04 with a lone assist to Josh Holmstrom to seal a Mavericks victory.

This is Summerhays' second win in a Mavericks sweater since being acquired by Missouri on Feb. 18, 2016.

The Mavericks overall record improves to 44-7-3-1 (92 points) atop the ECHL standings.
