Davis Outstanding in Overtime Loss at Kansas City

INDEPENDENCE, MO (Feb. 21) – Wichita battled through 60 minutes on Saturday night, but lost to Kansas City in overtime, 1-0, at Cable Dahmer Arena.

Matt Davis sparkled in the losing effort, stopping 42 shots. 

Kansas City controlled the first 40 minutes of the game. The Mavericks outshot the Thunder through 40 minutes, 28-12. 

In the third, Wichita was awarded a power play at 11:17 when Jake McLaughlin was called for holding. Jack LaFontaine was solid and held the Thunder off the board. 

For the first time in the season-series, the two teams headed past regulation. 

The Mavericks were awarded their first power play of the game at 3:40 of the extra session when Nikita Borodaenko was sent off for a high stick. 

Bobo Carpenter recorded the game-winner at 5:01, firing a wrist shot from the slot through a double screen and beat Davis for his 12th of the year. 

Wichita suffered its second shutout of the year to Jack LaFontaine and third overall. 

Despite stopping 42 shots, Davis wasn't awarded a star. It was the sixth this season that he stopped 40 or more shots he faced.

Wichita continues its 12-game road trip next week in Boise against Idaho starting Wednesday.
