Oilers Fall to Idaho, 4-2

Tulsa Oilers News Release


Tulsa, OK - The Oilers failed to complete the sweep of the Idaho Steelheads Friday after losing the second game of a back-to-back, 4-2. The Steelheads peppered Carr with 38 shots to come away with the victory.

Scoring opened in unusual fashion when Brian Nugent of the Oilers slipped past an aggressive Steelheads powerplay and scored a shorthanded goal on a cross-ice feed from Jordyn Kremer 5:21 into the game. The advantage goal led to furry friends flying across the ice on Teddy Bear Toss night.

Carr was busy early in his ninth consecutive start as he turned away a penalty shot from Cole Ully with 11:47 remaining in the first period. The Steelheads would test Carr 16 times in the first period.

The Oilers lead was quickly ended as Kyle Jean scored his first goal as a Steelhead 11:37 into the first period on a breakaway created by a stretch pass from Bouvest-Morrisette.

Tulsa wasted no time getting on the board in the second frame as Aaron Harstad scored backdoor on a feed from Dennis Brown 46 seconds in. Harstad has a goal in both his appearances as an Oiler after being assigned from the Manitoba Moose of the AHL.

Idaho would tie the game minutes later when Jeff Dahl scored his 10th of the season after steering in a blocked shot from Tommy Fallen just 3:29 into the second period.

The Oilers penalty kill wouldn't be as fortuitous as it was in the first period, as the Steelhead's Zack Kamrass scored on a rocket from the point during a 5-on-3 advantage. The Steelheads are a perfect 3-3 on the 5-on-3 advantage this season.

Corbin Baldwin dashed the Oilers hopes of a comeback with an empty netter with 1:20 remaining in the game.

The Steelheads win gave goaltender Maxime Lagace his third win in nine appearances.

The Oilers will look to bounce back on Sunday against the Missouri Mavericks by snapping the Mavericks 14 game winning streak. The game will take place at 4:05 p.m. central time at the BOK Center in Tulsa.
