Head-To-Head - Riley Gill was the best player on the ice on Friday night, stopping 40 of 41 shots in a 5-1 win over the Utah Grizzlies. The victory ended the Americans four-game losing streak
Back to Back - The Americans have not won back to back games since beating the Missouri Mavericks on opening weekend. The Americans dropped back to back home games to the Alaska Aces last weekend.
Brick Wall - Riley Gill shut down the Utah Grizzlies on Friday night stopping 40 0f 41 shots including 38 in a row, as the Americans beat Utah 5-1. Gill has now started two straight games since returning from injury.
Four and Done - The Allen Americans ended their losing streak at four games with last night's 5-1 victory over the Utah Grizzlies. The win was just their second on the road this season.
300 Club - The Americans 5-1 win last night was a big one for the 8-year franchise, as it was win number 300 overall for Allen.
Nearing 900 - Americans Head Coach Steve Martinson won his 898th game last night and is now just two wins away from 900 in his coaching career. If the Americans can sweep Utah this weekend, Martinson would have a chance at number 900 on Tuesday in Missouri.
Around The ECHL - The Florida Everblades have not lost a game in regulation this season. Florida improved to 8-0-1-0 with last night's 6-5 win at Atlanta.
Utah Grizzlies Notes - The Grizzlies don't have a player in double-digit points this season. Utah has five players tied for the team lead with seven points each. Anaheim Ducks products Tim Daly and Kenton Helgeson continue to shine for Utah. Daly leads the Grizzlies in plus/minus, at +5, while Helgeson remains tied with Daly for the team lead in assists with five.
