Looking to Extend the Series: The Americans dropped their third straight game, falling to the Mavericks 7-4 on Wednesday night at CUTX Event Center. The Americans blew leads of 1-0, 2-1, and 3-2 before Kansas City’s two unanswered goals put the Mavericks in the lead. Trailing 4-3 in the third period the Americans tied the score at 4-4 on Ty Prefontaine’s first goal of the playoffs. Thirty seconds later the Mavericks responded and took the lead for good. Luke Loheit’s second goal of the playoffs and second of the game turned out to be the game winning goal. Kansas City added two more goals on their way to a 3-0 series lead with the Americans now a loss away from having their season end. The Mavericks outshot the Americans by eleven (37-26). The two teams combined to go 1-for-10 on the power play. The Americans went 1-for-5. Jackson Parsons started, stopping 30 of 36 shots. Jack Lafontaine started and got the win for Kansas City stopping 22 of 26 Allen shots.

In the Series: The Americans (4-4) have dropped three straight playoff games. With a combined total of four goals in the first two games of the series the two teams combined for 11 goals in Game 3.

Two Times Three: For the first time this season the Americans allowed a hat trick in a game. Kansas City Mavericks forwards Luke Loheit and Bobo Carpenter each had a hat trick in Game 3. The Americans had 11 hat tricks this season. Four of the 11 from Danny Katic.
