Allen, Texas - The ECHL announced today that Americans forward Dante Salituro has been named the Inglasco ECHL Player of the Week.
Salituro had three goals and four assists in three games against the Utah Grizzlies last weekend. The native of Willowdale, Ontario is in his first season with the Americans. He's on a season-high six-game point streak. In that stretch, he has four goals and eight assists for 12 points.
He played his junior hockey with the Ottawa 67's, where he led his team in scoring two of the four seasons. Salituro and Allen teammate Stepan Falkovsky played in Ottawa together during the 2015-2016 season.
Salituro led the Americans in points during the month of January, with 15. He's currently second on the team in scoring this year with 46 points, three behind team leader Zach Pochiro.
The Allen Americans return to action this Friday night against the Tulsa Oilers. The Americans have the longest current ECHL win streak at four games.
