INDEPENDENCE, Mo. - The Colorado Eagles fell, 6-1, to the Missouri Mavericks, losing their first game in regulation to the expansion franchise. Missouri went 3-for-9 on the man advantage, while Charlie Effinger stopped 31 of 32 shots in the win. A four-goal third period led to the lopsided score.
Missouri got an early goal from Tom Maldonado when his wrister from atop the left circle made its way through a screen in front of Mike Mole 1:16 in. From there, neither team was able to score in the opening frame as the Eagles went 0-3 on the power play and the Mavericks went 0-2.
Each team changed that trend by scoring a power-play goal in the second period. Jim Jackson tied the game at 1 with a point shot midway though. But Toby Lafrance put the Mavs back on top with a man-advantage marker at 18:45 when he threw in a loose puck from the right side of the crease.
Missouri added four goals in the final frame -- two on the power play -- to storm away with the win. Braden Wells made it 3-1 just over four minutes in on the power play before Nick Sirota added another tally with a shot through a screen from the right circle a minute and 20 seconds later. Jordan Foreman made it 5-1 with a breakaway goal at 14:25 before Carlyle Lewis scored the Mavs' sixth -- and third on the power play -- at 16:28.
The Eagles return to the Budweiser Events Center for back-to-back games against the Wichita Thunder on Saturday and Sunday.
