Loveland, Colorado - The Colorado Eagles won their fourth straight game on Wednesday night, coming within minutes of their second straight home shutout with a 4-1 win over the Allen Americans at Budweiser Events Center.
Colorado Eagles forwards Kyle Kraemer, Ludwig Karlsson and Trent Daavettila broke-open a close game in the second period, scoring three times in a six-minute span to grab a 3-0 lead after two periods of play. The Americans were unable to solve Colorado netminder Peter Di Salvo, until late in the third when Jonathan Parker scored on the power play for Allen, but by that time the Americans fate had been sealed.
"We need to be better," said Americans Co-Captain Chad Costello, following the 4-1 loss. "We were outworked for the first two periods and dug ourselves a big hole we couldn't get out of."
Allen wound up outshooting Colorado 28-25 for the game, going 1/6 on the power play. The Americans resume the three-game road trip on Friday night in Boise Idaho.
The Americans return home on Monday, December 21st against the Tulsa Oilers at 7:05 pm. Tickets for the final game before the Christmas break are on sale at www.ticketmaster.com.
