Colorado Eagles News Release


TULSA, Okla. - The Colorado Eagles improved to 3-0 against the Tulsa Oilers this season with a 4-3 win at the Bank of Oklahoma Center. All three victories have come by one goal, and all three have come in the Oilers' new arena. Ryan Tobler scored a pair of goals for Colorado and Andrew Penner set a new franchise win mark (44) with the victory between the pipes.

The Eagles took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission with goals from Adam Hogg (7:19) and Ryan Tobler (8:36). Hogg got the game's first goal when he took a Steve Haddon pass and stuffed it into the net from the doorstep. Tobler doubled Colorado's lead less than a minute and a half later when he took a Riley Nelson feed and blew a shot by Trevor Cann from the high slot. Both teams went 0-2 on the power play in the opening frame.

Jake Riddle cut Colorado's lead in half with a second period goal at 14:11 when he corralled a Travis Banga rebound near the inside left hashmarks and swept a shot high past the Eagles' goalie. Shots were 18-17 in favor of the Eagles after two periods of play.

The teams traded power-play goals during the first two minutes of the third period, with Tobler scoring again from the slot just six seconds in -- setting a new franchise record for fastest goal in a period. Dan Riedel countered at 1:44 when he whacked the puck out of mid-air as it popped out of Penner's glove.

Ed McGrane got the game-winner at 5:23 with another power-play tally when he picked up a Jim Jackson rebound in the slot and put it home. The Oilers would not go quietly, however, and Marty Standish made it a 1-goal game once more, just over two minutes later, by beating Penner from the right circle on the rush. Cann made a pair of great saves on the penalty kill midway through the period to keep it close, but Tulsa couldn't score another goal before the clock hit zeros.

Colorado wraps up its seven-game road trip in Wichita on Wednesday, before heading home for a game Friday night against the Arizona Sundogs.
