Blowout Win: The Americans beat the South Carolina Stingrays 7-1 last Sunday afternoon at the North Charleston Coliseum. Harrison Blaisdell and Michael Gildon led the way for the Americans with two goals and an assist each.  Danny Katic extended his goal streak to four games with his 31^st goal of the season. The six-goal victory matched the most lopsided win of the year which occurred two previous times. Both six-goal victories came against the Tulsa Oilers. Sunday’s victory was the first ever regular season win against the Stingrays. They are 1-4 lifetime. Jackson Parsons started in net and earned the win stopping 14 of 15 Stingrays shots. The Americans had one of their best power play games of the season going 3-for-6. Danny Katic, Colton Hargrove, and Michael Gildon all scored with the man advantage. Allen held South Carolina to just 21 shots on goal, the second fewest by an Americans opponent this season. The previous low was 19.

Against the Eastern Conference:  After their three-game series against South Carolina, the Americans are 3-3-0 against the Eastern Conference this season. The Americans took two of three from Norfolk in February and won one of three games against the Stingrays last week. The Americans host Greensboro on April 2, 3, and 4 in Allen, which will be the final three games against teams in the East this season. 63 of the Americans 72 games this season were against teams in the Mountain Division.

ECHL Player of the Week:  Americans forward Danny Katic was named the Inglasco/ECHL Player of the Week on Monday. Katic had seven points in three games last week against South Carolina (4 goals and 3 assists). Katic is the active goal scoring leader in the ECHL with 31. He’s tied for second overall in the league with 10 Power Play Goals. He has scored nine goals in his last nine games. 

Anania Streak Hit Seven: Americans defenseman Andre Anania added to his point streak extending it to seven games with two assists on Sunday afternoon in Charleston. His seven-game streak is the current longest on the team.
