Americans take game two 3-2 in OT

Fort Wayne, IN-- The Komets battled the Allen Americans into overtime Sunday at the Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne. However, the Americans prevailed with an early goal in the extra frame to snatch a 3-2 victory and take 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven ECHL Western Conference finals series.

Allen opened the scoring at 8:50 of the first period for the only marker of the session which also saw 13 penalties whistled for a total of 54 penalty minutes.

Garrett Meurs netted his first pro playoff goal at 22 seconds into the second frame to pull the Komets even at 1-1. Troy Bourke put the Komets up 2-1 with a tally at 8:41, his eighth of the playoffs. Before the period could end, the Americans pulled even at 2-2 with 30 seconds remaining.

After a scoreless third period, the game slid into overtime and was suddenly ended when Gary Steffes deflected a shot into the Fort Wayne net at :56 to give the Americans the win.

Komet netminder Pat Nagle suffered the loss stopping 20 of 23 shots. The Americans started with Riley Gill in net. Gill allowed one goal on nine shots before leaving the game at 4:02 of the second period. Joel Rumpel entered in relief, making 15 saves on 16 shots for the win.
