WEEK IN REVIEW

The Oilers gained four out of a possible six points after a three-game in three-days weekend going 2-1-0-0. After back-to-back victories over the Wichita Thunder Friday at home and Saturday in Wichita, Tulsa fell to the Missouri Mavericks on Sunday.

Goaltender Kevin Carr notched his second shutout of the season in a 2-0 win in Tulsa over the Thunder on Friday in the BOK Center. Rookie defenseman Justin Mansfield marked his first goal of the season and first professional goal, unassisted.

With a win on Saturday in Wichita, the Oilers are now on two-game road winning streak for the first time this season. Due to a breakout of four fights during the contest, Tulsa painted a season high of 32 penalty minutes.

In the weekend finale on Sunday against Missouri, a third period goal by ECHL leading goal scorer, Jesse Root, cut off the Oilers two-game winning streak. Tulsa was defeated by the Mavericks 2-1.

LOOKING AHEAD The Oilers will play two games this week splitting time between the Rapid City Rush on Wednesday and the Utah Grizzlies Thursday. Tulsa is 10-11-1 all-time against the Rush at home. Thursday's $1 beer night matchup will be the first time the Oilers square off with the Utah Grizzlies in franchise history. The Grizzlies were the former squad of Oilers' Head Coach Jason Christie during the 2005-08 campaigns.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS December kicks off with seven straight home games for the Oilers. The Oilers will remain in the BOK Center through December 21st.

ROLLING OUT THE WELCOME "MAT"T Last week, the Oilers acquired goaltender Matt Grogan and defenseman Mathieu Brisebois. Grogan joins the Oilers after his start in the SPHL with the Mississippi RiverKings where helped his team gain four wins in his four games played. Brisebois, a 23 year-old Quebec native, suited up for all three contests this weekend and recorded a +1 rating.
