Mavericks 5, Falcons 2 - final

Jerad Stewart, Trevor Bruess and Geoff Irwin (empty-netter) scored goals in the third period, as the Mavericks improved their road record to 4-0-3 and went to 8-3-3 overall. Coach Troy Jutting called it perhaps his team's best performance of the season, equaled only by the 2-1 win over Colorado College three weeks ago.

The Mavericks outshot the Falcons 41-27. Mike Zacharias stopped 25 shots for his eighth win. Irwin had a goal and an assist, and Mick Berge finished with two assists. Irwin, Berge and Kurt Davis each finished the series with three points.

"When you’re on the road, your old guys and your best players have to play well, and they did tonight," Jutting said.

PucKato is looking forward to returning to live action next week.

Minnesota State came back with a pair of goals in the second period, including an early power-play goal by Jason Wiley and the go-ahead goal by Kurt Davis. Davis continues the stellar start, with at least a point in every game this season. He's up to 20 points already. Last season's leading scorer, Trevor Bruess,finished with 30 points.

Sounds like Jokinen is in for Mueller tonight, as coach Troy Jutting continues to rotate the freshmen.
