Mississippi RiverKings News Release
INDEPENDENCE, MO --- In a contest punctuated by nearly 300 minutes of penalty time, much of which meted out in the game's final two minutes, the Mississippi RiverKings prevailed 5-2 over the Missouri Mavericks on Friday, October 29th at the Independence Events Center.
Mississippi won its second straight contest against the Mavericks, which lost for the first time at home this year.
Louis Dumont scored the first goal for the RiverKings, Russ Smith tallied a power play goal with eleven seconds remaining in the first period. Matt Summers scored the eventual game-winning goal mid-way through the second, Nathan Lutz scored on a penalty shot for the RiverKings five goals scored and Derek Landmesser finished the night with an empty net goal.
