Casey Pierro-Zabotel gave the Americans a 1-0 lead at 15:08 of the first period with a wrist shot from the blueline that was well-placed, his 11th goal of the season. Gregor Hanson followed that with a goal of his own at 18:45, his 12th and the Americans led 2-0 after one.

Crane tallied again at 7:03 before Alaska's Justin Breton found the back of the net at 12:19, his 16th goal of the season, assisted by Colin Valcourt and Mitch Jones. Spencer Asuchuk gave the momentum right back to the Americans with his first goal of the season at 15:52.
In the third period, Crane completed his hat trick with his 16th goal of the season. The Aces' Felix-Antoine Poulin popped in the final tally of the game, a blast from the left circle on a feed from Tony Deluca to make the final 6-2 Allen.
Americans goaltender Joel Rumpel made 31 saves...Troy Redmann and Jacob DeSerres combined for 14 saves for Alaska.
The two teams will complete their three-game series Saturday night at 7:15pm AST at the Sullivan Arena.
