ALLEN, TEXAS - Tim Coffman scored twice, and the Alaska Aces scored three times with a two-man power play advantage in a 5-1 blitz of the Allen Americans Sunday afternoon at the Allen Events Center.
With the win, the Aces sweep the two-game series after winning 4-3 Saturday night.
Former American Nolan Descoteaux supplied the first Aces goal at 14:47 of the first period, rifling a screaming shot under the crossbar behind Allen goaltender Jamie Murray on a 5 on 3. Coffman and Peter Sivak assisting.
Then, on a 5 on 4 power play, Daniel Moynihan banged home a rebound to make it 2-0 Alaska at the 15:23 mark.
In the second period, Coffman scored the first of his two-5 on 3 power play goals, snapping a low wrister from the lower left circle past Murray after passes from Descoteaux and Steve Tarasuk.
Allen had little push-back in the game, but did get on the board at 19:19 of the second on Jake Marchment's goal. He swatted a puck out of mid-air in the crease into the net after Alaska goalie Kevin Carr made the initial save of a shot by Gary Steffes.
At 7:20 of the third period, Sivak got one of his own. After Tommy Olczyk got the puck off the boards, he sprung Sivak and Stephen Perfetto on a two on one break, with Perfetto feathering a perfect pass to the right wing where Sivak hammered home a one-timer for a 4-1 Aces lead.
Coffman finished the scoring at 16:14 with another 5 on 3 goal, his 7th goal of the season.
Alaska was dominant on the power play going 4 of 7. Allen was 0 for 7 with the man advantage.
Carr finished with 25 saves for his first win of the season...Murray was saddled with his second consecutive loss to Alaska also making 25 saves.
Alaska will host the Indy Fuel this Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at the Sullivan Arena in Anchorage.
