Mavs Minutes

Watson's Weekend: Mavericks defenseman Cliff Watson had quite the weekend on the offensive end, finishing the two-game set with three goals and one assist, a plus-2 in two games against Allen. After entering the twin-billing versus the Americans with two goals on the year, the Appleton, Wisconsin native doubled his yearly total on Friday with a pair of lamplighters then claimed the game-winner on Saturday.

Comeback Kids: The Mavericks took five of six possible points last week thanks in large part to come-from-behind efforts, the club erasing third-period deficits on Tuesday and Saturday. At Indy the Mavericks trailed 3-1 in the final frame before Jordan Ernst and Darian Dziurzynski beat Indy netminder Matt Tomkins to push the game into overtime and eventually a shootout. On Saturday, the Mavericks saw a 2-0 lead in the third turn into a 3-2 deficit until Rocco Carzo and Watson lit the lamp late to steal two points.

Climbing The Mountain: The Mavericks took two more divisional victories in the past week, pushing the team's total of wins within the Mountain to 13 - tied with Tulsa for the most among the group. Idaho comes into this week with a mark of 9-6-1-2 in divisional play.

A Little Less Conversation, A Little More Action: The Mavericks flexed their ability to score in bunches over the weekend, clustering goals against an Allen squad that limped into the weekend with a record of 6-16-0-2. On Friday, Kansas City scored its first three goals of the game over a span of 4:04, the first two coming just 28 seconds apart. KC then got its final two tallies of the 6-2 win in a span of 1:08. The quick-strike ability reared its head again on Saturday after falling behind 3-2, Carzo and Watson's tallies coming only 33 seconds apart as the Mavericks pulled out their 10th home win of the season.

On The Road Again: While the Mavericks have been excellent at home (10-1-0-0), they've been more ordinary on the road so far. Kansas City comes into this week's three-game set at Idaho with a record of 4-4-1-1 away from Silverstein Eye Centers Arena - the last road victory coming four road contests ago, Nov. 17 at Wichita in a shootout.
