Josh Winquist had his first multi-point game of the season for the Americans scoring two goals, his fourth and fifth of the year.
Jack Combs had the other Americans goal, his 18th of the year scored on the power play, one of three Allen goals scored in the second period.
"It was a big weekend for us," noted Combs. "We're trying to get back in the playoff race in our division, so games against the teams above us are crucial to get."
