Another close shave

The Mavericks left Bemidji with a series sweep, winning 1-0 on a Geoff Irwin power-play goal at 7:27 of the third period. Goalie Mike Zacharias got his third shutout of the season and the fourth of his career, stopping 22 shots.

One puck did get past Zacharias, at 12:13 of the second period. But referee Todd Anderson and his crew ultimately ruled that Joey Moggach kicked the puck into the goal. Unlike the WCHA, the CHA does not have video replay, so the ruling stood.

The Mavericks are now unbeaten in their last six games (4-0-2) and over the .500 mark for the first time since Nov. 2.
