Christmas Came Early, a 3-1 Victory over the Americans

Tulsa Oilers News Release
Tulsa, OK- A case of the Monday's was not an issue for the Oilers on December 21 when the team defeated the Allen Americans in enemy territory, 3-1.
For the fourth straight game the Oilers could not strike first. With hope of a power play goal on the advantage against Jonathan Parker's high-sticking minor, hope was lost. For the first time this season, the power play for Tulsa resulted in a deficit. A steal by American's Gary Steffes and two incredible saves by Kevin Carr led to the rebound and shorthanded goal. Forward Dyson Stevenson, his third of the year, was the culprit at the 5:37 mark.
Worry for Dan DeSalvo after his limb suffered a flying puck didn't last long when his second period assist on the power play goal by Emerson Clark tied up the contest.
A snipe and an unassisted netter by Adam Pleskach in the third period gave the visiting team their first lead of the night. Pleskach would increase his leading point tally to 18.
If the net is empty, why not? Brady Ramsay notched his second goaltender-less goal of the season with less than two minutes left in the final frame to secure the win for Tulsa.
The Oilers will enjoy a quick holiday break before returning to the road on Saturday, December 26 when the team heads to Wichita to clash with Thunder at Intrust Bank Arena. Want to be there? Click here for details on the bus trip that can get you to action!
