INDEPENDENCE, Missouri - The Missouri Mavericks rallied from a one-goal deficit in the third period for a 6-4 victory over the Allen Americans Friday night at Independence Events Center.

Defenseman David Pszenyczny had four points on two goals and two assists, Andrew Courtney added two goals of his own and Dale Mahovsky had three points on the night on a goal and two assists. The Mavs now travel to Bloomington, Illinois to face the Bloomington Blaze Saturday night before returning home for a Sunday evening tilt with the Fort Wayne Komets.

David Pszenyczny got the Mavs on the board first, scooping a loose rebound up in the goal crease, putting the Mavs up 1-0. Dale Mahovsky and Brandon Coccimiglio assisted on the goal.
