Mavericks Report: Changes Abound

With success comes teams inevitably knocking at the door, and that was the case for Josh Robinson, who was called up to Springfield of the AHL, where he made his debut this week. Unfortunately, he was on the wrong end of a 7-2 loss. With Robinson's call-up, that meant the Mavericks had to rely on the goaltending duo of Parker Milner and Steven Summerhays this week.

Milner got the first crack on Tuesday against Tulsa, and he made his time count, as he helped shutout the Oilers 3-0. Friday, the Mavericks took on the Allen Americans in the first of four home games that will be televised locally, and thanks to Milner, the Mavericks made this game a success, as they won 4-2. Saturday, the Mavericks began their back-to-back games with Evansville, and with Milner in net once again and a Sebastian Sylvestre goal in overtime, the Mavericks were able to escape with a 4-3 win. Sunday was a different story, as Steven Summerhays was in net and played well. However, an unlucky play resulted in the game winning goal for the IceMen as they would take a 2-1 win over the Mavs.

The Mavericks make an Indiana road trip this week, as they visit the Indy Fuel on Tuesday before games with the Fort Wayne Komets on Wednesday and Friday before coming home for a Sunday tilt with the Rapid City Rush.
