Americans split road trip
Allen came away from their stay in North Richland Hills on even ground after splitting a pair with the Fort Worth Brahmas.
The Americans got the better end of a shootout Friday, outdueling the Brahmas, 4-3. Scott Howes accounted for two goals while netminder Steve Silverthorn turned away three of the four shooters faced in the shootout.
The Brahmas evened the count that following evening, taking a 3-2 decision that equated Allen’s first loss of the season. Fort Worth scored all three of its goals in the second and fended off a late charge by Allen in the third period.
