Dalton Gally to the IR: Americans defenseman Dalton Gally missed the final two games of the Idaho series with a lower body injury. He was placed on the injured reserve list on Tuesday. He’s expected to miss several weeks.
13 and counting: The Americans have given up 40 or more shots in all 13 games this season. In two of those games, the Americans have allowed 50 or more to the opposition. The 58 shots allowed last week in Boise, were the most since the 2021-2022 season.
Americans and Komets strike a deal: The Americans traded forward Chad Butcher to the Fort Wayne Komets this week for defenseman Joe Gatenby, and forward William Provost. Gatenby played in nine games with the Komets this season and had two points. Prior to his time in Fort Wayne, he spent two years with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits. William Provost is a talented young forward with a ton of upside. He had two points in three games this year for Fort Wayne.
Orzeck set to make his Allen debut: Defenseman Nolan Orzeck will make his Americans debut tonight against Wichita. He was acquired in a trade last weekend from the Iowa Heart landers for future considerations.
