David Tendeck made his Americans debut between the pipes and stopped 19 of 20 shots in the opening period. Liam Malmquist scored the only goal of the opening period, his fifth goal of the season. Brad Morrison (2) tied the game in the second period as Hank Crone assisted on Morrison's one-timer from the left circle. Idaho responded with three in a row to take a 4-1 lead. The Americans were given a late power play goal in the middle frame and cashed in as Kevin Spinozzi scored on the power play his first goal of the season. The Steelheads added another in the third period as Jade Miller scored his second goal of the game. Idaho completed the three-game sweep with a 5-2 victory on Military Night in Boise. The Americans are 2-17-3 in their last 22 games at Idaho Central Arena.

Streaking: Hank Crone extended his point streak to three games (1 goal and 3 assists). Crone had a four-game point streak earlier this season.

Costantini Streak Ends: With Daivd Tendeck's start in Boise last Saturday, Marco Costantni's streak of 10 straight starts came to an end. It was the first time since October 31st that Costantini was not between the pipes for the Americans.

Road Woes: After winning on opening night in Wichita, the Americans have dropped five straight road games.

From the Affiliation: Jackson Parsons dropped his first American Hockey League game last Saturday.
