Americans Notables
Streak Buster: The Americans ended the Kansas City Mavericks long home winning streak at 16 games with a 2-1 overtime victory on Friday night in Missouri. Kansas City took a 1-0 lead to the third period, but the Americans were not to be denied. Sam Stange’s power play goal, his seventh goal of the season at 4:51 of the third period tied the game at 1-1. The two teams would need overtime to settle this goaltending battle. Kansas City forward Casey Carreau was given a hooking minor at 2:57 of the overtime period setting up an Americans Power Play.
