Independence, MO - The Allen Americans, ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Ottawa Senators, and AHL's Belleville Senators, wrapped up a three-game series with Kansas City Mavericks on Saturday night, and it was the Americans coming out on top 5-2 in front of a crowd of 5,320 at Cable Dahmer Arena.
The Americans scored the only goal in the opening frame when Danny Katic fired a wrist shot into the KC net from Sam Stange and Ty Prefontaine at the 5:37 mark, giving Allen the 1-0 lead. Goal number 23 for Katic. The Mavericks outshot the Americans 14-12 in the opening period.
