The St. Charles Chill entered the second period with a 1-0 lead over the Missouri Mavericks but surrendered six-straight goals to their cross-state rivals, five in the second period, on their way to a 6-1 loss Wednesday night at The Family Arena.

The game started well with St. Charles (1-3-1) controlling the action and lighting the lamp first on a goal from Kyle Kraemer after Anthony Perdicaro skated end-to-end to set up the one-timer from the top of the crease to give the Chill the lead at the 12:00mark.

The Mavericks (4-0-0), playing without two suspended players and in their fourth-straight road game to start the season, turned it on early in the second period when Joe-Scott Dickson evened the score less than two minutes into the second.  Evan Vossen gave the Mavs the lead at the 6:20 mark before Eric Costanguay, Andrew Courtney, and Kyle Hood each scored in the final five minutes of the period to put the game out of reach even for the Chill, who climbed out of a five-goal deficit last weekend.

On a night that saw the St. Louis Cardinals succumb to the Boston Red Sox in the World Series, it was only fitting that Massachusetts native Obi Aduba, who was sporting a Red Sox cap prior to the game, finished off the scoring in the third period for Missouri to push the final at The Family Arena to 6-1.

The Chill is back on the ice in Quad City on Friday night before returning home Saturday for Military Appreciation Night at The Family Arena.  Five dollar tickets are available for any active and retired member of the armed forces and their families by calling the Chill front office at 636.724.7468.  Single-game tickets are available through MetroTix and at The Family Arena box office.  For group ticket packages, sponsorships, and more information on the St. Charles Chill visit StCharlesChill.com or call (636) 724-SHOT (7468).
