The 6-foot-2, and 190-pound blueliner joined the Americans last season and played in 38 games adding 10 points (2 goals and 8 assists).
"Justin (Allen) has a good skill set to break pucks out of our end quickly," said Americans Head Coach B.J. Adams. He will use his size to his advantage when defending, which will make it difficult for the opposition's forwards."

"'I'm e xcited to be headed back to Texas for another year," said Allen. "I really enjoyed my time here last season. It's such a great atmosphere to play in, and the Americans have some very passionate fans. I can't wait to get the season started."
