Americans Claim First Home Win: The Allen Americans claimed their first home victory of the season on Wednesday morning in front of a School Day Crowd of just under 6,000 fans in Allen. The Americans scored the opening goal of the game for the fourth time in the last five games. Spencer Asuchak netted his second goal of the season at the 11:21 mark of the second period to give the Americans a 1-0 lead. That score would hold up until late in the third period when Grizzlies Captain Gianni Fairbrother found the back of the net for his fourth goal of the season to tie the game at 1-1. Allen responded four minutes later when Americans leading scorer Brayden Watts made his way in front of the Utah defense and beat Grizzlies netminder Adam Scheel for his fourth goal of the year to give the Americans the lead for good. Mark Duarte added an empty-net insurance goal with a minute and two seconds left on the clock as the Americans beat the Grizzlies 3-1. The Americans have won three of their last four games.
Americans win the battle of the shots: For the first time this season the Americans outshot their opponent holding Utah to just 27 shots for the game. The 37 shots by the Americans were a season high for Allen. The 27 shots by Utah were the fewest shots by an opponent this season. The 15 shots by the Americans in the second period were the most by the team in a single period this season.
