It was predictable a tired Allen Americans team would travel to Wichita overnight on Saturday to take on a rested Wichita Thunder team on Sunday afternoon would end in defeat. The end result was Allen got doubled up in shots (42-21) and the Americans were shutout (2-0) for the ninth time this season. The Americans finished the season series against Wichita with a record of 3-8-2-0 (.308).

– Despite the outcome in Wichita, if you watched the game, the team played hard and were still in the game until the Thunder scored a power play goal late in the third period to take a 2-0 lead. Goalie Dylan Myskiw, playing his first game for Allen, kept the Americans in the game stopping 40 of 42 shots for a .952 save percentage.
