Top 10 – Mavericks’ forward Sebastien Thinel is sixth in scoring in the CHL with 48 points this season.  Thinel has 13 goals and 35 assists in 40 games and his 35 assists are second in the league only behind Evansville’s Todd Robinson.  Goaltender Charlie Effinger ranks tied for sixth in the CHL with a .918 save percentage and his 17 wins ranks tied for third in the league.  Effinger’s two shutout victories are one behind the league leader, Fort Wayne’s Nick Boucher.

Coccimiglio streaking – Mavs forward Brandon Coccimiglio has registered eight points in his last four games, with four goals and four assists over that period. Coccimiglio is currently sixth on the Mavs in points, with 31 on the season on 17 goals and 14 assists in 33 games.

Nine unbeaten – The Mavericks had their nine-game home unbeaten streak snapped by the Quad City Mallards Saturday night at Independence Events Center. The Mavs won eight straight games, then earned a point in a shootout loss on Friday night before losing in regulation on Saturday night.  Missouri is still 8-1-1 in their last 10 home games.

Top six – The Mavericks have six players on their roster with 30 points or more this season. Sebastien Thinel leads the way with 48 points (13-35=48), followed by Dale Mahovsky (15-25=40), Ed McGrane (17-22=39), John-Scott Dickson (18-16=34), Andrew Courtney (16-17=33) and Brandon Coccimiglio (17-14=31).

Saturday sellouts – The Mavericks sold out their ninth game this season at Independence Events Center on Saturday night.

Missouri trails the Evansville IceMen by six points in the standings for the conference’s top spot and sit four points out of second place, behind the Fort Wayne Komets.
