(INDEPENDENCE, Mo.)—The Kansas City Mavericks defeated the Rapid City Rush, 5-1, at Cable Dahmer Arena on Saturday.
Connor Mylymok scored Rapid City’s lone goal. The rookie forward picked up his seventh of the season with assists to Chase Pauls and Holden Wale. The goal came late in the second period after Kansas City had built a 5-0 lead.
Matt Radomsky registered a goalie fight when he took on Jack LaFontaine. Radomsky dodged LaFontaine’s only punch thrown, then proceeded to fall on top of his counterpart in an extremely quick scrap. Both goaltenders were allowed to stay in the game with teammates serving the penalties.
Radomsky ended up with 19 saves, while LaFontaine made 28. The Rush outshot the Mavericks, 29-24.
