Tulsa Oilers News Release


Evansville, IN - For the second night in a row, the Oilers fell to the Evansville IceMen in a 6-2 fashion. Five early and often goals for Evansville granted them a sweep in the weekend series against Tulsa--claiming four points.

The first frame of hockey supplied five goals for one team. Twenty-three seconds of action was all it took for the IceMen to find their groove and score. Mike Duco rang in on Jussi Olkinuora from Jordan Sims. At the early 2:49 mark, Ryan Penny was found right in front of the crease on the two-man advantage and notched his seventh. Ten minutes later Spencer Humphries, all by himself in the right circle, gave the IceMen a 3-0 lead. A one-timer from Andrew Harrison lit the lamp for a fourth Evansville goal. With just seconds before the period ended, 21.9 to be exact, Duco (his second of the night) sliced one past the Tulsa goaltender to end the frame 5-0.

Oilers' goaltender Kevin Carr entered the pipes for the second period--neither team would score.

The final frame hosted two Tulsa goals. With six minutes left, Oilers Head Coach Jason Christie pulled Carr for an extra attacker. With an additional body in front of Christoffer Bengstberg, Igor Vladykovski was the skater to score the first goal for the visiting team and his first of the season. Phil Brewer shortly after worked his way behind the Evansville netminder for a second. Dan DeSavlo would rake assists on both Oiler goals.

Nathan Moon earned his second point of the night when he inked the unassisted empty net goal to finish the contest 6-2.

The Oilers triple header weekend continues tomorrow when they travel to Missouri to battle the best team in the ECHL- the Missouri Mavericks.
