Americans Notables
Bounce Back Win: After dropping the first game of the weekend on Friday night, the Americans rebounded with a 6-4 victory over the Tulsa Oilers on Saturday night in Allen. The Americans scored four times in the opening period outscoring the Oilers 4-1 in the opening frame. Braidan Simmons-Fischer (1), Michael Gildon (15), Harrison Blaisdell (17), and Brayden Watts provided the scoring in the first frame. Ty Prefontaine gave the Americans a four-goal cushion in the second period with his eighth of the year. The Oilers scored three consecutive goals in the third period to cut the Americans lead to 5-4, but Danny Katic pumped a shot into the open Tulsa net for his 25th goal of the year. That closed the door on any chance of an Oilers comeback as the Americans held on for the two-goal victory.
