Allen - The Denver Cutthroats faced the Allen Americans on Friday, November 1 at Allen Event Center. The Americans overtook the Cutthroats in a five-round shootout to close the night 3-2.

Denver and Allen fought tirelessly through the third period to keep the score at 2-2. The Central Hockey League's leading teams headed into a scoreless overtime and sent the game into a shootout. This was the Cutthroats second shootout of the season, having won in the 18th round against the Tulsa Oilers on opening weekend. Garett Bembridge was the first to net the puck in the shootout to give Denver the lead. Tyler Ludwig responded instantly with the next shot, finding the back of the Cutthroats net to tie the score once again. Darryl Bootland closed the night with the final goal to give the Allen Americans a 3-2 victory over the Denver Cutthroats. Denver's goaltender Kent Patterson was awarded the second of the three stars of the night for his valiant efforts, having stopped 44 of the 46 shots.
