Americans Box Score

Independence, MO - The Allen Americans, ECHL affiliate of the Ottawa Senators (NHL), and Belleville Senators (AHL), opened the Mountain Division Finals on Saturday night in Missouri, and it was Kansas City squeaking out a tight game 2-1 at Cable Dahmer Arena to take a 1-0 series lead.

After a scoreless opening period, the Mavericks jumped on the board in the second frame as Bobo Carpenter scored just over 90 seconds into the period to give Kansas City a 1-0 lead. It was a power play goal for the Mavericks. The Americans outshot Kansas City 11-6 in the period.

The Americans evened the score early in the third period as Danny Katic found the back of the net for his 6^th goal of the playoffs from Colby McAuley and Ty Prefontaine. The game remained tied until under two minutes to go when Mavericks forward Jackson Jutting’s wrap-around goal deflected off an Americans player's skate and into the net, giving the Mavericks their second lead of the game. Allen pulled Jackson Parsons shortly after but could not tie the game.

Kansas City had the advantage in shots 30-27. The Mavericks had four power plays in the game compared to just one for the Americans (0-for-1).
