Edmonton Oil Kings News Release


Everett, Wash. - The Edmonton Oil Kings are south of the border for their first stop on a six-game United States raod trip.

Tonight, the 4-4-0-1 Oil Kings are in Everett to take on the Western Conference leading Silvertips who are 9-2-0-0 on the year. Edmonton is coming off a big 5-1 win in Red Deer on Sunday, while Everett has won three games in a row heading into tonight.

Historically, the Oil Kings and Silvertips have met 16 times in history, including twice last season. The Oil Kings won both meetings last season by scores of 6-5 and 5-3. Former Silvertip Roan Woodward had four points (2G, 2A) for the Oil Kings against his old club last season, while Marshall Finnie and Gavin Hodnett also had four points each. Carter Bear had three points for the Silvertips in the series. This season, the two clubs will only meet once.
