Worcester Falls 4-1 in School Day Game to Mavericks

Worcester, MA – The Worcester Railers HC (7-7-2-1, 17pts) lost to the Kansas City Mavericks (14-4-0-0, 28pts) on Wednesday morning by the final score of 4-1 in front of a crowd of 4,730 at the DCU Center. The Railers are back at home against the Norfolk Admirals this Friday, December 1st at 7:05pm 

Kansas City’s Justin Nachbaur (1-1-2) got the game's first goal late in the first period to put the Mavericks ahead going into the second. Brendan Robbins (1-0-1) tied the game for Worcester in the second before David Cotton (1-0-1) for Kansas City put the Mavericks back in front with a breakaway late in the second. The Mavericks scored twice in the third from Nolan Walker (1-0-1) and Cole Coskey (1-0-1), once early and once on an empty netter to seal the game 4-1 in favor of Kansas City 

Kansas City jumped on the power play early in the game but failed to capitalize on the first man-advantage of the morning. Once their power play expired, Justin Nachbaur (3rd) slammed home a loose puck on the goal line to make it a 1-0 Kansas City lead 5:38 into the game. The score would stay 1-0 heading into the second period.  

In the second, Brendan Robbins (5th) would tie the game midway through the second off a Mavericks turnover to make it 1-1. Late in the second, The Railers surrendered a breakaway to Kansas City’s David Cotton (1st), who rushed down ice and beat Lennox to give the Mavericks a late 2-1 lead going into the third period.  

Just 1:15 into the third period, Nolan Walker (7th) skated from his own zone into the Railers end of the ice and roofed a shot past Lennox to extend the Mavericks lead to 3-1. Former Railer Cole Coskey capped things off for Kansas City with an empty net goal with just 2:18 left in regulation to give the Mavericks the 4-1 win.
