Americans earn a point in shootout loss: A near sellout crowd watched a tight battle between the Americans and Railers. The Americans struck first with two goals in the opening period. Kamerin Nault scored both goals for the Americans, his second and third goals of the season. The Americans outshot the Railers 14-7 in the opening frame. Worcester cut the lead in half early in the second period as Tyler Kobryn scored just 2:04 into the period. Former Americans forward JD Dudek had the lone assist for the Railers. The Americans answered two minutes later as Brayden Guy put the puck in the net on the rebound for his 11th goal of the season. Allen led 3-1 after two periods. Things turned in favor of Worcester in the third period as the Railers scored a pair of goals. The game-tying goal came with 1:20 left in regulation. The game would eventually go to overtime. Each team had their chances in the three-on-three competition but neither team could solve the other goaltender, sending the game to a shootout. In the extra session it came down to the final shooter as the first five were all denied. Worcester defenseman Connor Welsh slid a puck through the five-hole giving the Railers the extra point and the win over the Americans 4-3.
Power Play Advantage: The Americans went 1-for-6 on the power play on Saturday night. Brayden Guy's 11th goal of the season came with the man advantage. Spencer Asuchak leads the Americans with seven power play goals. Worcester, which has the best road power play in the ECHL was held to just one power play opportunity, going 0-for-1 on the man advantage.
Nault shines in loss: Americans forward Kamerin Nault had his best game in an Americans sweater scoring a pair of goals in the opening period. The line of Blaisdell, Gorman and Nault was the best Americans line for the fifth game in a row.
The High Five: Americans rookie forward Harrison Blaisdell extended his point streak to a team-leading five games with an assist on Kamerin Nault's first goal of the game on Saturday night.
Jacobs closing in: With Colin Jacobs assisting on Saturday night, he is just one point away from 200 points in his pro career.
