Allen Americans News Release


Kansas City, Missouri - The Allen Americans and Missouri Mavericks are meeting in a playoff series for the second time in franchise history, as they open their semifinal series tonight in Missouri. The puck drops at 7:05 PM.

The Americans advanced to Round 2 of the postseason after a 3-2 overtime victory over the Idaho Steelheads on Wednesday night at Allen Event Center. Tristan King scored the Americans goal in the extra session, after he fired one hard on goal that found its way into the back of the Idaho net.

"It happened so quickly," said Americans forward Tristan King, following the 3-2 victory. "I saw an opportunity to put one on goal knowing Gary Steffes was in front of their net and just by chance he did make the save, Gary was in good position for a rebound. I saw the fans jumping up and down so I knew the puck was in."

Chad Costello comes into tonight's game on a 7-game playoff point streak, and a 26-game point streak going back to the end of the regular season. "He's been unbelievable," said Americans forward and line mate Vincent Arseneau. "He has the ability to make that perfect pass that not many guys can make."
