Wichita, Kansas – The Allen Americans, ECHL affiliate of the Ottawa Senators (NHL), and Belleville Senators (AHL), beat the Wichita Thunder 8-4 on Saturday night in Kansas.

The Americans erupted for five goals in the opening period. Bennett MacArthur (8), 1:09 into the opening frame. Bennett MacArthur (9) his second of the game at the 8:55 mark. Tarun Fizer (3), less than a minute later at 9:48. Johnny Walker (6), eight minutes later at 17:55. Just over a minute later Tarun Fizer (4), with his second of the night. The Americans outshot the Thunder 19-10 in the first. The five goals scored by the Americans are the most by the team in a period this season.

The Americans added another just 33 second into the second period as Gavin Gould (8) buried a one-timer. Liam Finlay (4) scored for the second straight game eight minutes later to give the Americans a 7-0 lead. Wiichita would respond with three goals of their own over the final six minutes of the period as the lead was cut to 7-3 after forty minutes of play.   

The two teams traded goals in the third period. Blake Murray (16) gave the Americans their five-goal lead back with a tap-in, on a great pass from Tarun Fizer to make it 8-3 Americans. Wichita scored in the final minute on the second of the night and 23rd of the season from Michal Stinil. The Americans are 2-0 so far on the weekend with a rematch straight ahead.   

“I didn't like the way the second period ended for us, but overall, a great performance by our guys,” said Americans Coach Chad Costello. “Considering the crazy travel this weekend you have to be pleased coming away with two wins so far”
