Tulsa, OK - Despite a strong start, Tulsa fell 5-2 to the Utah Grizzlies in the series finale at the BOK Center on Tuesday.
The Oilers' *Charlie Sampair* opened the scoring 10:21 into the game when he corralled a bouncing puck off the blade of *Cory Ward* before roofing it past Martin Ouellette. Yuri Terao answered less than three minutes later, blasting a back-door chance past *Olle Eriksson Ek* just after a Grizzlies' power play expired.
The Oilers restored their lead 7:36 into the second period. *Sampair* intercepted a clearance attempt in the Utah zone and completed a drop pass to *Ward,* who buried the feed, giving both players two points on the night. Yuri Terao answered with his second of the game 7:36 later. A mirror of his first goal, Terao hammered home a seam pass on the power play to knot the game at 2-2. Griffen Molino scored his 19th of the season 3:28 later on the breakaway, giving the Grizzlies their first lead of the night. Josh Dickinson jumped on the momentum from the previous goals, sniping *Eriksson Ek* short side on the power play 1:58 later to bring the game 4-2 in Utah's favor.
Despite Tulsa outshooting the Grizzlies 12-8 in the final frame, Utah's Joe Wegwerth found the lone goal of the third period, closing the scoring out off a rebound with 13:10 remaining in the game.
The Oilers still have three games to play this week, starting with a road test in Wichita against the Thunder at 7:05 on Friday. Tulsa will return home for a rubber match with Wichita at 7:05 on Saturday for Nickname Night before turning their attention to Kansas City and a 4:05 p.m. matinee game at the BOK Center on Sunday.
