Fort Worth, Texas - The Allen Americans, ECHL affiliate of the Ottawa Senators, won their preseason opener on Thursday night 3-0 over the Tulsa Oilers at the NYTEX Sports Centre in Tarrant County.
After a scoreless opening period, the Americans went to work in the second period scoring two times. Brayden Watts opened the scoring with his first of the preseason at the 49 second mark of the frame. Fifteen minutes later the Americans were on the board again as Spencer Asuchak knocked one into the Tulsa net for his first goal of the preseason on the power play at the 15:49 mark. The Americans led 2-0 after two periods of play. The second period was filled with penalty minutes that included two Oilers players receiving a game misconduct.
The Americans put the game away in the third as Kevin Spinozzi fired a shot into the Tulsa net from the right point for his first goal of the preseason to give Allen a 3-o lead. That would be all the Americans would need to claim a shutout win.
Matt Register and Sam Sedley each had two helpers in the game. Brayden Watts also had a two-point night with a goal and an assist. His second period goal was the game winner.
Allen Americans goalies Jackson Parsons and William Lavalliere combined for the 33-save shutout.
The Americans home opener will be on Friday, October 24th against the Kansas City Mavericks at Credit Union of Texas Event Center. Call 972-912-1000 for more information.
