Late rally leads to two points: Trailing 3-2 late in the third period, the Americans pulled goalie Marco Costantini. Colby McAuley tied the game with 19.9 seconds left on the clock sending the game to overtime. Neither team scored in the seven-minute session, so a shootout was needed. Colin Jacobs was the fifth Allen shooter and beat Tulsa goalie Gage Alexander for the game winner. The Americans outshot Tulsa 41-34 for the game. The 41 shots were one shy of the Americans season high. Marco Costantini won his second game with the Americans and his first in front of the home crowd.
Murray on the power play: Blake Murray scored the only power play goal on Wednesday night, as the Americans went 1-for-3 with the man advantage. The power play moved up to eighth overall at 22.3 %. Colby McAuley leads the ECHL with 11 power play goals.
Losing Streak Halted: The Americans ended their four-game losing streak on Wednesday night with a 4-3 shootout win. The Americans lost five of six games on their six-game road trip. Their only win came in Kansas City on January 26th 4-2.
Head-to-Head against Tulsa: The Americans are 4-2-1 against Tulsa in the season series. The Americans are 2-1 against the Oilers at CUTX Event Center.
Costantini picks up first home win: Americans rookie netminder Marco Costantini started his sixth straight game on Wednesday night. He stopped 31 of 34 Oilers shots including three of four in the shootout.
