Perfect Start: The Americans jumped out to a 3-0 lead for the second game in a row and beat Idaho 4-2 on Friday night at CUTX Event Center. Andre Anania (1) on the power play (Colton Hargrove and Brayden Watts) and Landen Hookey (1) (Anthony Costantini and Harrison Blaisdell) scored second-period goals to give the Americans a 2-0 lead. Colton Hargrove (2) collected his second point of the night in the third period scoring on the power play to give Allen a 3-0 cushion with the eventual game winner. Sam Sedley scored into an empty net shorthanded with 18 seconds left in regulation to secure the Allen victory.

At the Top: Brayden Watts who led the Americans in scoring during the regular season with 75 points is off to a fast start in the playoffs with four points in two games which leads the Americans. He’s tied for second overall in the league. Watts scored two goals and an assist in Game 1 and added a helper on Andre Anania's goal on Friday night. He has points in 11 straight games including a nine-game point streak to end the regular season.

Not Your Average Rookie: Americans rookie netminder Brett Mirwald improved to 2-0 in the postseason with a 1.50 GAA and a 0.944 SV % with a pair of wins over Idaho. He was 5-0-1 in six regular season starts for Allen and the only rookie Americans goaltender to record back-to-back shutouts in his first two professional starts

Penalty Filled Third: The Americans and Steelheads combined for twenty-eight penalty minutes in the third period on Friday night. Thirty-six total for the two teams with Idaho holding a slight advantage with twenty. The two clubs combined for fifty-eight penalty minutes in Game 1

Not in our Barn: In the two playoff games at Credit Union of Texas Event Center the Americans have never trailed the Steelheads. Allen has outscored Idaho 9-3 in the first two games of the series.
