Americans Blank Greensboro: The Americans shutout the Gargoyles 6-0 on Friday night. The game started fast with a pair of power play goals just over a minute apart. Sam Sedley ripped a one-timer into the Greensboro net from the left circle for his eighth goal of the season. Sixty-seven seconds later Brayden Watts from almost the exact same spot blasted home his 22^nd goal of the season to make it 2-0 in the first period. Three more goals in the second period—Colton Hargrove (24), Quinn Warmuth (7), and Kevin Gursoy (3)—all found the back of the net. Lukas Sillinger added one more for good measure in the third period as the Americans shut out the Gargoyles. The Americans went 2-for-3 on the power play.

Record against the East: The Americans are 5-3-0 against the Eastern Conference this season winning three in a row. They took two of three games against Norfolk in February and one of three against South Carolina last month. The Americans are 4-1-0 on home ice against teams from the East this season.

Hargrove Big Night: Americans Captain Colton Hargrove had a three-point game on Friday night with a goal and two assists. He has a five-game point streak entering tonight’s game with six goals and four assists over that stretch. He’s third on the team in scoring with 56 points.

Rookie Whitewash: Americans rookie goalie Brett Mirwald earned his first professional shutout on Friday stopping all 25 shots he faced. The 22-year-old netminder has three total shutouts this season with the other two coming at the University of British Columbia. Tonight’s shutout was the sixth of the season by an Americans goalie.  

Crone Ready to Return:  Americans forward Hank Crone is set to return to the Americans lineup on Saturday night. Crone has not appeared in a game since March 20^th in South Carolina. In 56 games this season the former league MVP has 47 points.

Closing in: With the Americans win tonight and Idaho’s regulation loss the Americans closed the gap on second place to eight points. The Americans have two games in hand.
