CC 4, MSU 3, final

The Mavericks nearly pull off the comeback with goals by Mike Louwerse and Rylan Galiardi but give up yet one more power-play goal to fall.
***
The Tigers scored three power-play goals in the second period -- after a goal that would have given the Mavericks a 2-0 lead was waved off -- to take the lead into the second intermission. It's the third time this season that the Mavericks have allowed three power-play goals in a period.
***
The Mavericks got started quickly, scoring on the game's first shot on goal. Jerad Stewart, one of coach Troy Jutting's unsung heroes from Friday night's game, scored it just 23 seconds in, deflecting a shot from linemate Zach Harrison.

The Mavericks outshot the Tigers 8-6 but and had higher-quality scoring opportunities.
