JD Dudek won a battle in front of the Tulsa net and hammered home his first of the season to tie the game at 1-1. Rookie Andrew Jarvis had the primary assist to pick up his first professional point. The game would end quickly in overtime as Oilers forward Dylan McCormick stood alone in front of the Allen net and beat Antoine Bibeau for his fourth goal of the season.
