Last Game: The Kansas City Mavericks completed the three-game sweep with a 2-1 victory last Saturday night at Cable Dahmer Arena. For the third game in a row, the Mavericks jumped out to a first period lead. Damien Giroux put the Mavericks on the board first with his 16th of the season at the 4:40 mark of the frame. Kansas City increased their lead two minutes later as Max Andreev scored his 13th of the year to give KC a 2-0 lead. That score would hold up until the third period when Mark Duarte put the Americans on the score sheet with his 18th goal of the season. With goal number 18, he tied Spencer Asuchak for the team lead. The Americans would go on to lose their 10th in a row.
Time is running out: With Saturday night’s loss to the Mavericks, the Americans have just 20 games remaining in the regular season. Allen trails the fourth place Tahoe Knight Monsters by 29 points for the final playoff spot in the Mountain Division. Only one time in team history have the Americans missed the postseason due to a non-qualifying record. That happened back in the 2018-2019 season when the Americans finished last overall in the league.
Power Play: The Americans went 0-for-2 on the power play last Saturday night in Kansas City. Allen is ranked 17th overall on the man advantage at 19.1 %. Spencer Asuchak leads the Americans with seven power play goals.
Head-to-Head with Tahoe: The Americans have faced the Tahoe Knight Monsters just two times in team history. Both games were played at Credit Union of Texas Event Center. Tahoe won both games by a 4-3 score. The Americans are 0-1-1 lifetime against their Mountain Division neighbors.
Americans swap forwards with Cincy: The Americans acquired forward Noah Kane, from the Cincinnati Cyclones on Tuesday.
In return the Americans sent forward Brayden Guy to the Cyclones. Kane played in 12 games for Cincinnati this season and had one assist. He is the cousin of Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Kane.
