The Americans got on the board first just four minutes into the opening frame. Alex Schoenborn recorded his first goal in an Allen uniform as he fired a long wrist shot from just outside the circles and made it 1-0.
David Friedmann tied the game in the second. He took a pass from Louick Marcotte near the top of the left circle, skated into the slot and fired a backhand past the blocker of Jamie Murray to tie it at one.
Gary Steffes potted his 18th of the season at 3:21 of the third as he roofed a rebound after his initial tip was stopped by Scott Greenham's leg pad. The Americans made it 3-1 at 4:26 when Zach Hall fired a cross-crease pass home from Miles Liberati for his 10th of the season. Schoenborn added his second of the game at 7:06 when he caught a pass at the top of the left circle, stepped around a man to the slot and beat Greenham to make it 4-1.
Tesink notched his fifth of the year with just over four minutes left to cut the lead to two. He caught a long outlet pass up the bench wall, got around a defender and fired a wrist shot past Murray.
