INDEPENDENCE, MO (Nov. 9) - Ryan Harrison scored twice and Andrew Shortridge held the Thunder offense at bay in a 2-0 win for Kansas City on Tuesday night at Cable Dahmer Arena. Kansas City benefited from back-to-back five-on-three power plays in the third period to give the Mavericks some breathing room. Shortridge stopped all 27 shots he faced in the winning effort. The first period was fast-paced and saw Kansas City outshoot the Thunder 11-8. Wichita carried over a power play into the second when Loren Ulett was sent off for a cross check. Early in the second, Harrison gave the Mavericks a 1-0 lead. He skated up the right wing and snapped a shot past the blocker of Evan Buitenhuis. Andrew Shewfelt nearly tied it on a breakaway, but Shortridge made a tough leg-pad save to keep it a 1-0 contest. Wichita was forced to kill off back-to-back two-man advantage opportunities and the Mavericks finally cashed in. Sean Allen was called for high sticking at 8:57. Jay Dickman was then assessed a delay of game for closing his hand on the puck at 9:39. Wichita was about to kill off both power plays, but Carson Vance was sent off for a trip. Kasey Kulczycki was also called for a bench minor, giving the Mavericks another chance with a five-on-three. Harrison put home a rebound at 13:06 to make it 2-0. The Thunder pulled Buitenhuis with just over two minutes left and had some good pressure on Shortridge. He kicked aside four quality chances and held on for the win.
