Tulsa Oilers News Release
Evansville, IN - In Evansville's 'home finale' inside the Ford Center the Oilers were victorious 3-2.
Phil Brewer took a shot in the first period that Adam Pleskach, former IceMen, got a stick on for his 21st of the season. Christophe Lalancette took the secondary assist on the goal that gave Tulsa an early 1-0 lead.
At the 8:01 mark Evansville broke the Oilers advantage. Andrew Harrison backhanded the puck past Jussi Olkinuora to knot the contest 1-1.
Midway through the second frame Pleskach inked his second of the night. Lalancette earned his second assist.
A Tulsa shot off the glass and a little luck advanced the Oilers lead, 3-1. Brewer would have credit for the power play goal with assists going to Tom Kroshus and Mathieu Brisebois.
A 5-on-3 for the IceMen early in the third period would give a big opportunity for them to produce but they could not.
Daniel Turgeon, seven minutes into the third period, accepted a pass from Nathan Moon to score a power play goal for his first in Evansville.
Although the IceMen fought back -, they would not catch up to the Oilers who owned a 3-2 victory on Saturday night.
The Oilers travel to Missouri on Tuesday to face the Mavericks in their hunt for points to earn a spot in the Kelly Cup Playoffs.
