TULSA, Okla. - The Tulsa Oilers, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Anaheim Ducks and the AHL's San Diego Gulls, and powered by Community Care, lost 5-4 to the Utah Grizzlies on Saturday Night at the BOK Center.

Danny Dzhaniyev gave the Grizzlies the first lead of the night for second straight game, hammering a low-slot rebound past Tomas Suchanek 7:17 into the action. Griffen Ness extended the lead less than two minutes later, closing the opening-period scoring at 2-0 Utah.

Tyrell Goulbourne 's third of the season pulled the game within one, tipping a blast form Drew Elliott with the hosel of his stick on the power play 3:13 into the period. Easton Armstrong scored another power-play tip 31 seconds later, redirecting a shot from Jeremie Biakabutuka with his shaft and above the glove of Dylan Wells to tie the game 2-2. Ness net his second of the game 1:11 after the Oilers equalized, placing Utah up again, this time 3-2. Jack Ricketts gave Utah a 4-2 lead 1:41 past the midway mark of the game, potting a power-play goal of his own. Armstrong scored his second power-play goal of the frame with 1:03 left in the period, finishing off a passing display from Kevin Gursoy and Elliott with a wicked wrister to pull the score to 4-3.

John Gelatt scored the eventual game-winning goal, placing Utah up 5-3 8:40 into the final frame. Biakabutuka made it a one-goal game with the extra attacker, finishing a follow-up chance, but the goal was too late, coming in the final second of action, leading to a 5-4 Utah victory.

The Oilers head on the road for a three-game series against Tahoe, starting off on Friday, Nov. 28 at 9:00 p.m. CT at Tahoe Blue Event Center.
