J.C. Brassard and Brayden Watts had the helpers. The Americans cut the KC lead in half a little later in the period as Brayden Watts set up Brayden Guy for his seventh of the year to make it 4-2. The Americans pulled goalie Luke Richardson with just over two minutes to go in regulation, but Max Andreev won a battle behind the open Allen net setting up Casey Carreau for the empty net goal as Kansas City beat the Americans for the third time this season.

Third Period Power Play Goal : Mark Duarte scored his third power play goal of the season on Friday night. The only Allen power play goal of the game as the Americans went 1-for-2 with the man advantage. Easton Brodzinski leads Allen with four power play goals.
