RiverKings' Three Game Win Streak Stopped in Corpus Christi

Mississippi fell at Corpus Christi Saturday night in their last outing, a 3-2 decision to the IceRays at the American Bank Center. The loss stopped the team's longest win streak of the season at three. All five goals in the contest were power play goals. The RiverKings had a season-high 14 power play chances in the game, and the two teams split 23 man-advantage opportunities. Mississippi goals against the IceRays Saturday night were scored by Louis Dumont in the first period and Matt Pierce in the second period. Tyler Sims (0-2-0) played his second game of the season in goal and made 18 saves. The RiverKings outshot Corpus Christi by a 31-21 margin.

Go To Chaumont for Goals

RiverKings forward Bobby Chaumont was held off the score sheet Saturday at Corpus Christi, but he remains the team's goal scoring leader with nine red-lighters through 15 games. The native of Sudbury, Ontario has scored goals in seven games and has tallied twice in two of them. Chaumont has also been kept of the scoreboard for more than one game only once this season. His longest point streak of the year is a four-game stretch from November 1st to the 12th, where he scored three goals and provided three assists.

Dumont's a Point Producer

Louis Dumont of the RiverKings has seen his name on the scoresheet for 12 of the team's 15 games this season, leading the team in points at 17. The Calgary, Alberta native had a five-game point streak this year where he tallied four goals and five assists from October 31st to November 12th. Louis is currently on a four-game point streak where he's scored two goals and added a pair of assists. Dumont has also scored all four Mississippi shorthanded goals this year.

Nelson Gets It Done On the Road

Ten of Jeff Nelson's 13 points this season have come in road games, as the veteran has one goal and nine assists in contests away from the DeSoto Civic Center. The one goal scored by the native of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan has come on the power play (and was the first goal of the game November 12th at Bossier-Shreveport) and he has assisted on six other road power play goals.

It's Been a Good Month

While still a work in progress, the RiverKings have done well so far in the month of November, forging a 6-3-0 record for the month entering tonight's game. Louis Dumont has 12 of his 17 points in November games, and Bobby Chaumont has scored seven of his nine goals since the turn of the calendar page. Jeff Alcombrack has also scored ten points in the nine games (3 goals, 7 assists), and Matt Summers has tallied nine points (3 goals, 6 assists). Goaltender Kevin Beech has a 6-2-0 record for the month and a 2.50 goals-against-average.

Power Play's Working On The Road

In the RiverKings' seven road games this season, the team has scored 12 power play goals in 58 attempts, a 20.7% success rate. Of those 12 red-lighters, Bobby Chaumont and Jeff Alcombrack have each scored twice.
