Oilers Fall to the Still Streaking Mavericks

Tulsa Oilers News Release


TULSA, OK - The Tulsa Oilers finished off a three game push with a 2-1 loss to the streaking Missouri Mavericks in front of 5,774 fans on a Sunday afternoon at the BOK Center. The emotions of the crowd reflected the gloomy weather outside as the Oilers were defeated by the top team in the ECHL. Tulsa concluded the weekend with four out of a possible six points while the Mavericks polished off a perfect 12-0 month of November.

It was a speedy start for Missouri on Sunday afternoon as the Mavericks struck only 2:29 into the first period when Sebastien Sylvestre cleaned up a rebound in front of the Oilers' net to give the Mavericks the advantage. Off of an open pass from Adam Pleskach, defenseman Mathieu Brisebois had the Oilers' best scoring chance of the first period but missed the mark. The Oilers managed only two total shots on net in the first period--tying the team's season low for shots on goal in a single period.

A franticly played second period kicked off with power play success for the Oilers. With Mavericks' defenseman Patrick Culity in the bin for interference, Dennis Brown sauced a puck to the stick blade of a posted up Emerson Clark and the newly acquired forward was able to flick the puck past Patrick Milner for the game-tying goal. Carr made 12 of his 29 saves in the second period including an out-of-this-world stop on Carter Verhaeghe.

Rookie forward Phil Brewer faced an empty net opportunity five minutes into the third period and was denied by his own stick when it snapped in full flight. Tulsa's second power play chance of the night was cut short when Clark took a tripping minor and the Oilers faced 39 seconds on the disadvantage. With 5:09 left in the tied matchup, an egg-like scramble of bodies impaired the vision of Carr just enough for Jesse Root, the leading goal scorer in the ECHL, to bounce in the game winning goal for the Mavs.

Tulsa dropped to 7-8-1-1 on the season and 1-1-1-0 in the season series against the Mavericks. The Oilers will begin December on a seven-game home stand leading off with Rapid City on Wednesday night at 7:05 p.m. at the BOK Center.
