BOISE, ID – The Idaho Steelheads (3-1-1-0) fell to the Allen Americans (2-1-0-0) 5-2 on Saturday night to wrap up their weekend series with the Americans. The Steelheads will face the Americans again in Texas on Thursday at 9:30 a.m. MT from Frisco’s Comerica Center.
The physicality started early in the second matchup of the weekend, as Jaxon Fuder and Cal Uens dropped the gloves for a lengthy battle early in the opening frame. Building on that energy, the Americans grabbed the first of the night seven minutes into the game, as Noel Nordh struck moments after an Americans power play to deliver the icebreaker for Allen.
The Steelheads answered later in the frame with a power play goal from Kale Howarth after a netmouth scramble, evening the score 1-1 just three minutes later…
