Allen, Texas - The Allen Americans, ECHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild, completed the weekend sweep of the Norfolk Admirals after a 3-2 overtime victory on Veterans Night in Allen.

Gabe Gagne scored his team-leading 6th goal of the year, while Brett Pollock added his 4th. Seven different players for Allen had at least a point.
