Looking to even the series: The Americans dropped Game 1 to Idaho last Friday night 5-4 at CUTX Event Center, and now trail the best-of-seven series one game to none. Game 2 was originally scheduled for Saturday night in Allen but postponed due to the unfortunate situation on Saturday afternoon at Allen Premium Outlet Mall.

Finally breaking through: The Americans went 1-for-2 on the power last Friday night breaking a 0-for12 drought. The power play ranks 14th overall in the postseason at 12.1 %. Idaho ranks 11th overall at 15.1 %. They are 4-for-26.

Penalty Kill remains perfect: The Allen Americans penalty kill ranks first overall in the postseason at 100.0 %. The Americans did not give up a power play goal to Kansas City during their opening round series, with Idaho going 0-for1 on Friday night in their only power play attempt. Allen has killed off all 11 power play attempts in seven playoff games this postseason.

Leaders quiet: After having four of the Top 20 scorers in the regular season scoring race with Hank Crone leading the way with 105 points, the Americans do not have anyone in the Top 20 during the postseason. Colton Hargrove leads the way with five points (3 goals and 2 assists).

When Scoring First: The Americans are 3-2-0 when scoring the first goal this postseason. Their losses came in Game 4 against Kansas City, and Game 1 against Idaho.

Doing Shots: Americans forward Colton Hargrove leads the team in shots on net during the postseason with 31. He’s tied for fourth overall in the league. He led Allen with 252 during the regular season.

Looking at the numbers: The Allen Americans allowed just 11 goals in their opening road series with Kansas City, which is tied for the fewest goals allowed in a 6-game playoff series in postseason history. Allen gave up five in Game 1 against Idaho, which was almost half of what the team allowed in the six-game series against Kansas City.
