With the victory, the Americans passed the Oilers in the standings and moved back into fourth place overall in the Mountain Division.
Costello Misses First-Ever Game with Allen: Chad Costello missed last Sunday's game against the Tulsa Oilers with an upper body injury. It was the first-ever game missed by the veteran forward. Costello played three straight 72-game seasons in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Costello is fifth overall in the ECHL in scoring.
Welcome Young Man: The Allen Americans welcomed a new player from college last weekend, with the signing of Justin Young, a 6-foot-1 and 180-pound forward from Leduc, Alberta. The 1997-born winger had 31 points in 36 games this season with American International College (AHA). Prior to his time there, he spent three seasons at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, where his best season came in 2019-2020 where he had 21 points in 36 games.
Turning the Tide: The Allen Americans won their second extra session game of the week last Sunday, with the 3-2 shootout win over Tulsa. Last Wednesday night, the Americans beat Kansas City 3-2 in overtime.
