Kansas City, Missouri - The Allen Americans, ECHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild, defeated the Kansas City Mavericks on Saturday night by a score of 8-2 in front of a big crowd of 5,800.
Allen opened the scoring halfway through the opening period when Tyler Sheehy found the back of the net for his 18th of the season. Jared VanWormer and Olivier Archambault assisted on the goal. Joshua Lammon scored his second of the season with less than a minute to play in the first period to extend the Allen lead to 2-0. Kansas City held a one-shot advantage 14 to 13 after twenty minutes of play.
The Americans chased Kansas City starter Tyler Parsons after the first period, and broke-open a close game in the second frame, scoring four times, to take a 6-1 lead. Jordan Topping, Stepan Falkovsky, Brett Pollock and Alex Guptill all scored in the second period.
