Allen Americans News Release
Allen, TEXAS - The Allen Americans, ECHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild (NHL), and Iowa Wild (AHL), host the Wichita Thunder tonight at 7:05 pm in the first of three straight games between the two teams.
The Americans have won two of the first three meetings this season. Both wins for the Americans have come on the road. The only loss came on New Year's Eve by a score of 7-2. That was also the last home game for the club.
"It seems like forever since we played in Allen," said Americans forward Jesse Mychan. "The ten-game road swing was a good bonding trip for us. Taking eight of the ten was really important."
The Americans are expected to have Braylon Shmyr in the lineup tonight for the first time all season. Shmyr has been on the shelf with a lower body injury since training camp.
Joshua Lammon missed the last game with a lower body injury. He's listed as day to day.
