Early Deficit Dooms Chill

November 8, 2013 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
St. Charles Chill News Release


Tulsa, Okla. - The St. Charles Chill dug themselves another early deficit, falling behind 4-0 to the Tulsa Oilers, but closed the score to 4-3 before losing by a final of 6-4.

The Chill (2-5-1) were outshot 14-3 in the opening period and surrendered two power play goals to fall behind 2-0. The Oilers (3-5-2) added two more goals in the first 6:46 of the second period to take a 4-0 lead that chased starting goaltender Mathieu Corbeil before St. Charles got the offense clicking and stayed out of the penalty box.

Anthony Perdicaro scored his second of the season on a deflection from Jordan Fox and Tony DeHart to put the Chill on the scoreboard. Less than four minutes later Phil Bushbacher netted his first of the season on an assist from Kyle O'Kane to close the score further to 4-2.

Bushbacher would add his second goal early in the third period after he stole a pass and his bad angle shot deflected off a defender and into the net to set the score at 4-3.

Robby Moss, in goal off the bench for the second time this season, made some timely saves late in the second period and throughout the third to keep the Chill in the game but it was the Oilers outshooting the Chill 15-8 in the third, stretching their lead to 5-3 with under two minutes left.

The Chill continued to battle. With a penalty called moments later, the Chill pulled Moss from goal and skated 6-on-4 and the move paid off leading to Kyle Kraemer's power play goal to once again close the score to a single goal.

The Oilers sealed the win with an empty netter in the final minute of play. The two teams battle again Saturday night with the puck drop set for 7:35. Tune in to the live action at www.talkstl.com or by downloading the TalkSTL app for your smart phone.
