INDEPENDENCE, Missouri - The Missouri Mavericks defeated the Tulsa Oilers, 5-2, Saturday night in front of the 10th consecutive sellout at Independence Events Center. The sellout streak is tied for the longest in the franchise history. Kellan Tochkin led all scorers with four points on the night on two goals and two assists. His line mates Sebastien Thinel and Kenton Miller each added three points as the Mavericks improved to 23-17-4. Mavs' goaltender Mike Clemente stopped 32 of 34 shots, while his counterpart Dan Clarke let in five goals and saved 34. The Mavericks close out a three-game weekend when they travel to Bloomington on Sunday

The Mavericks controlled from the opening faceoff. Missouri put up eight shots and a goal before the Oilers had their first shot on goal. Colt King ripped a slap shot home at the 4:17 mark to give the Mavericks a 1-0 lead, a lead that held through the first period.

Missouri extended their lead to 3-0 in the second period on goals from Tochkin and Miller.

Tulsa battled in the third period and made it 3-1 on a goal by Jason Weeks just 3:38 into the period. Missouri answered on Tochkin's second goal of the night at the 5:06 mark. Sean Erickson scored for the Oilers on the power play to make it a 4-2 game at 7:01, but that would be as close as the Oilers would get. Miller missed on a penalty shot at 9:32, but he made up for it just 12 seconds later on his second goal of the evening.

The Mavericks head to Bloomington Sunday before three home games next week. Missouri will host Denver on Tuesday, Feb.12, Bloomington on Friday, Feb 15 and Allen on Saturday Feb. 16.
