Kansas City, Missouri – The Allen Americans, ECHL affiliate of the Seattle Kraken (NHL), defeated the Kansas City Mavericks on Friday night 3-1 in front of 3,103 fans at Cable Dahmer Arena.

“We played hard tonight,” said Tyler Paulsen. “We got a great performance between the pipes from Francis Marotte. He made some huge saves especially in the third period. We have two tough games coming up with Tulsa the next couple days so winning tonight was important.”
