Sweep of the Steelheads: For the second week in a row, the Allen Americans swept the Idaho Steelheads, winning 3-2 on Thursday, and 4-1 on Friday night. In the series finale, the Americans jumped out to a 2-0 lead and never looked back. Americans forward, and Utah/Tucson prospect Noel Nordh (2), opened the scoring four and a half minutes into the contest. Then, early in the middle frame, Americans forward Riley Kidney (6) lit the lamp 51 seconds into the period. His goal would turn out to be the eventual game winning goal. Miko Matikka (3) added a goal later in the second period to give the Americans a two-goal cushion. Sam Lipkin added another insurance goal late in the contest as the Americans cruised to a 4-1 victory at Comerica Center. The Americans finished the Frisco series with a 2-0 record. They will play their second home opener of the season on November 20^th against the Kansas City Mavericks.

Power Play Does it Again: After being shutout in the first four games of the regular season, the Americans scored a power play goal for the second game in a row. Noel Nrodh’s second goal of the season at 15:31 of the first period came with the man advantage. The Americans are 2-for-27 on the power play this season. 

Just inside the Top 10: The Americans Penalty Kill unit ranks eighth overall in the league this season at 91.3 %. Allen Americans opponents have two power play goals in twenty-three chances this season.

Six-for-Six: Riley Kidney scored his team-leading sixth goal of the season on Friday night. His sixth goal in six games to start the season. His career high as a pro was eleven, last season in 46 games with the Trois-Rivieres Lions.

What’s Ahead for the Americans: Following this series in New Mexico, the Americans will play three more road games in the division next week starting on Friday night in Kansas City.
