The Allen Americans are down to the final two games of the season, playing the Tulsa Oilers tonight and tomorrow night, to conclude the worst season in franchise history. These games are huge for Tulsa who is fighting for a playoff spot. 

– Other than playing the spoiler role the Americans need one win to avoid finishing the season with just seven wins at home and end up all alone with the second fewest home wins in the 37 year history of the ECHL.
