Colton Hargrove (2) collected his second point of the night in the third period scoring on the power play to give Allen a 3-0 cushion with the eventual game winner. Sam Sedley scored into an empty net shorthanded with 18 seconds left in regulation to secure the Allen victory.

He has points in 11 straight games including a nine-game point streak to end the regular season.
Not Your Average Rookie: Americans rookie netminder Brett Mirwald improved to 2-0 in the postseason with a 1.50 GAA and a 0.944 SV % with a pair of wins over Idaho. He was 5-0-1 in six regular season starts for Allen and the only rookie Americans goaltender to record back-to-back shutouts in his first two professional starts
