Tulsa Oilers News Release


TULSA, OK - Jeff Jubinville became the first Oiler to score four goals in a game this season and registered the second hat-trick of his rookie campaign as Tulsa blitzed the Brampton Beast on Sunday night in an 8-1 thrashing at the BOK Center. The Oilers won their fourth consecutive contest and finished the season series against the Beast with a flawless 8-0-0 record. Tulsa captured six out of a possible six points over the weekend and moved into sole possession of fourth place in the Central Division.

Jubinville, who recorded his first professional hat-trick against Brampton on January 29, began his barrage at the 6:59 mark of the opening period when he re-directed a Drew Fisher pass through Beast goalie Ryan DiMelo. Just 21 seconds after his first strike, Jubinville found the net again by tapping home another centering feed from Fisher. Brampton's only offense of the night was generated from Justin Donati who swatted a power play rebound past Kevin Carr at 10:23 to cut the Tulsa lead in half. At 11:47, Beast forward Stephon Thorne was called for roughing and given an additional four minutes for getting his stick up in the face of Oilers' defenseman Kevin Noble. On the ensuing six-minute power play, T.J. Caig blasted a heavy slap shot past DiMelo to put the Oilers on top 3-1. Caig's 21st goal of the season extended his point streak to five games. Before the power play expired, Jubinville completed his hat-trick by ripping a shot from the slot at 14:50 to give Tulsa a 4-1 advantage. Jubinville scored three goals on three shots in the first period and became the only Oiler this season to record two hat-tricks. The Oilers posted four goals in the first frame for just the second time this season and did their damage on a total of 12 first period shots.

The onslaught continued early in the second period as Nathan Lutz somehow squeezed a sharp angle shot past DiMelo at the 2:23 mark. Less than four minutes later, a bouncing puck deflected off Jon Booras and into the Beast net to give Tulsa 6-1 lead. The five-goal advantage held until the final minute of the period when Jubinville received a pass from Caig and quickly tickled the twine for his fourth goal of the evening. The Edmonton native moved from fifth to second in the ECHL rookie scoring race and ended his best outing as a pro with four goals on six shots and a +3 rating. In the eight games against Brampton, Jubinville scored 10 goals and posted a +11 rating.

Brady Ramsay potted the only goal of the final stanza by cranking a slap shot past Dalton McGrath who replaced DiMelo at the start of the period. The Oilers scored eight times on just 29 shots to record their second-highest goal total of the season. Tulsa posted its largest margin of victory this season and outscored the Beast 39-13 over the course of the eight-game series.

Carr turned aside 31 shots for his fourth consecutive performance with 30 or more saves. The rookie puck-stopper has allowed only three goals in the last four games and has stopped 128 of the last 131 shots he has faced. Seven Oilers recorded multiple points and blue-liner Scott Macaulay led all players with a +4 rating. The Oilers have won nine of their last 11 games and will look to gain more ground in the playoff race in their next outing at Quad City on Wednesday night.
