Saturday, April 12th

Dallas/Allen, Texas - The Allen Americans (16-45-8-3), ECHL affiliate of the Utah Hockey Club, powered by Energy Transfer Partners, lost the final game of the regular season on Saturday night 7-2 to the Tulsa Oilers (40-24-5-3) on Classic of Texoma Fan Appreciation Night in Allen.

The Oilers jumped on the board early, scoring three times in the first four minutes of the hockey game. Reid Petryk (17), Austin Albrecht (13), and Easton Brodzinski (19) all scored early first period goals. Brodzinski’s goal turned out to be the game winner for Tulsa. Solag Bakich made it 4-0 Tulsa, midway through the opening frame. Cole Fraser scored his second of the season with four seconds left in the period to cut the lead to three 4-1.

The two teams exchanged goals in the second period. Michael Farren scored his team-leading 24th for the Oilers while Brad Morriosn added his sixth of the season for the Americans.

Austin Albrecht (14), and Josh Nelson (9) extended the Oilers lead to 7-2 in the final period. The Oilers completed the three-game sweep reaching the 40 win mark (40-24-5-3).

Saturday’s game was the 300th professional game for Cole Fraser. Spencer Asuchak (421) had an assist on Brad Morriosn’s goal that moved him to within one point of Chad Costello (422), for the Americans all-time scoring leader.

The Americans will hold their end of the season party on Sunday afternoon from 2-4 PM at Northside Drafthouse in Richardson.
