Streaking: Missouri Style

The image above has been commonplace lately for Missouri Mavericks fans, as the team is riding a 14-game winning streak in its second year as a member of the ECHL and its first as an affiliate of the New York Islanders.  In 22 games, which is a third of the ECHL season, the Mavericks are 19-2-0-1, having established a fairly comfortable lead over the next best team in the Western Conference in Quad City.  The Mavericks will have a chance to make it 15 in a row on Sunday at Tulsa and should they do so, will have three games at home the following weekend with Cincinnati and Quad City. The task will be a little tougher, as current leading scorer Jesse Root was recently called up to Bridgeport of the AHL.  However, the two-headed goaltending system of Parker Milner and Josh Robinson have proven to be more than up to the task, as they have a combined 1.58 GAA.
