Tulsa Oilers News Release


Tulsa, OK - Although the Tulsa Oilers would outshoot the Missouri Mavericks 24-19 on a Tuesday night in Independence, none of their shots would find the back of the net and the Oilers would be shut out in a 3-0 loss.

The Oilers penalty kill showed up big in the first frame against a Mavericks squad who moved the puck well and set up a number of chances in front of goaltender Kevin Carr. With neither team able to produce on power play opportunities, the contest remained scoreless through one period.

A fight between Mathieu Brisebois and Andrew Courtney would break out in attempt to liven up a scoreless second period. Brisebois would lose his helmet at take a few to the head from Courtney.

At the end of 40 minutes, Tulsa owned a total of 15 shots three failed power play attempts. The Mavericks would trail in shots by one at 14 and four power plays.

The 9:51 mark provided a Missouri Mavericks goal by the ECHL's fourth ranked goal scorer Jesse Root. Root shoved the puck between Carr and the pipes to score his seventh goal against the Oilers this season. Tyler Barnes and Trevor Ludwig took assists on the first goal of the night.

A one timer by Sebastien Sylvestre on a backdoor pass from Matt Finn gave the Mavericks a 2-0 lead over the Oilers.

With 53 seconds to go, Tanner Fritz (in mid-dive) made a sweeping pass to Reed Seckel who found an open net to seal the Missouri shutout over Tulsa, 3-0. Parker Milner took the win in between the pipes for the Mavericks.

With a record of 25-18-3-2, the Oilers are back at home on Friday night when they host the Evansville Icemen for the first and only time in Tulsa. They will continue their three games in three nights with the Allen Americans in the BOK Center on Saturday and Sunday.
