Tulsa Oilers News Release


TULSA, OK - The Oilers rallied late on Friday night against the Thunder, but were unable to close out with a win in overtime, helping the Thunder snap a seven-game losing streak. Andy Huff scored two goals for the Thunder, while Landon Oslanski and Danick Gauthier both registered two points in front of a season-high crowd of 9,160 inside the BOK Center.

After a slow start to the game, Thunder forward Huff scored the first goal off a pointblank shot 15:26 into the game.

Huff scored the second goal of the game just 2:12 into the second period and increased his goals on the season to six. Huff tipped in a point shot by Landon Oslanski while the Thunder were on the powerplay. The tally gave Huff his first two-goal game of the season.

Fired up by a fight from Emerson Clark, the Oilers' Briant Nugent managed to cut Wichita's lead in half with only 2:55 remaining in the game. Nugent rifled a feed from Adam Pleskach past goaltender David Shantz.

Making his debut with the Oilers, Axel Blomqvist scored with less than a minute left with a one-timer snapshot on a feed from Dan DeSalvo.

Tulsa couldn't quite pull off the comeback as Wichita's Danick Gauthier scored on a tricky wrister from the top of the circles in extra minutes.

The Oilers will get a chance to avenge their loss tomorrow night as they play the Thunder again at the BOK Center. Puck drop is 7:05 p.m.
