Toledo, Ohio – The Allen Americans, ECHL affiliate of the Seattle Kraken (NHL), lost a heartbreaker in overtime 6-5 to the Toledo Walleye on Saturday night, ending the Americans three-game winning streak.
The Americans battled back late in the third period to tie the score at 5-5 with goals from Spencer Asuchak (24), his second of the night, and Josh Winquist (11). The game would end on a controversial goal. It appeared that the Walleye interfered with goalie Luke Peressini, on Brandon Hawkins hat trick goal in overtime.
