Eric Williams (3), Gavin Gould (6), Colby McAuley (18), and Ty Fournier (6) were the goal scorers for Allen. Gould's goal came shorthanded. His second shorty of the season. The Americans ended their four-game losing streak. It was the third win of the season series for the Americans, evening their record at Cable Dahmer Arena (3-3-0). Kansas City still leads the season series (6-3-0). It was only the fifth regulation loss for Kansas City at home this season. Three of those losses have come at the hands of the Americans. With the victory on Friday night, the Americans improved their road record to 11-10-1-0. Allen is 4-1-0 in their last five road games.
