Game 1 Recap: The Americans opened the Mountain Division Finals on Saturday night in Missouri, and it was Kansas City squeaking out a tight game 2-1 at Cable Dahmer Arena to take a 1-0 series lead. After a scoreless opening period, the Mavericks jumped on the board in the second frame as Bobo Carpenter scored just over 90 seconds into the period to give Kansas City a 1-0 lead. A power play goal for the Mavericks. Allen evened the score early in the third period as Danny Katic found the back of the net for his 6th goal of the playoffs from Colby McAuley and Ty Prefontaine. The game remained tied until under two minutes to go when Mavericks forward Jackson Jutting’s wrap-around goal went off an Americans players skate and into the net to give the Mavericks their second lead of the game.
