Season Series: This is the first of nine meetings between the two teams. Six of the nine games will be here in Tulsa.

Last Night: The Oilers broke into the win column, with a 5-2 win over the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs. Memphis is shooting for a Sooner State sweep. After playing its first five games at home, Memphis won its first road game of the season last night, winning 6-3 in Oklahoma City.

Nice Chap: Bryan LaChapelle led the Oilers scoring parade last night. While five different Oilers had goals, LaChapelle chipped in three assists as well, for a four-point night.

Powerful Stuff: The Oilers had registered five power play goals in their first three games. Last night, three of the Tulsa goals came on the man advantage, as Tulsa was 5-for-17 with the man advantage.

A Real Plus: Even with the Oilers three power play goals last night, Jaroslav Cesky was on the ice for the team's shorthanded and even strength goal, and was +2 on the night.
