STATELINE, NV - The Tahoe Knight Monsters, proud ECHL Affiliate of the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights and the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights, fell to the Kansas City Mavericks by a score of 7-2.
The lone goal of the first period came from Kansas City, as Jake McLaughlin scored his first goal of the playoffs to make it 1-0 for the Mavericks headed into the second period.
In the middle frame, Kansas City would add two more goals to their lead from Bobo Carpenter and Nolan Sullivan, and the Mavericks would go up 3-0, going into the final period.
