Mavericks 6, Gophers 2, final

That is not a misprint.

Minnesota State scored five goals in the second period, including a short-handed goal by Jerad Stewart with 16.2 seconds left as the Mavericks began killing off a five-minute major by Trevor Bruess.

Kael Mouillierat scored two breakaway goals in the period. Rylan Galiardi scored a power-play goal, and Mike Louwerse also scored for the Mavericks. Galiardi and Louwerse each have three points in the game.

Mick Berge scored a power-play goal at 5:46 -- with 27 seconds remaining in Jake Hansen's five-minute major -- to give the Mavericks a 1-0 lead, but Hansen made up for his mistake by tying the game with a power-play goal of his own at 14:56. It was a low-angle shot from below the left circle that Mike Zacharias probably should have stopped. He appeared to make the save but the puck leaked in behind him.

The Mavericks outshot the Gophers 16-7, although nine of their shots were during the major penalty. Goalie Alex Kangas robbed Kael Mouillierat of a back-door goal early in the penalty.
