Week In Review: The Oilers four-game win streak was snapped on Tuesday night in a 6-1 setback to the Wichita Thunder. Despite outshooting the Thunder 38-23, Tulsa suffered its most lopsided loss of the season. The Oilers bounced back on Friday night in Wichita with a 7-4 come-from-behind victory. Trailing 3-0 after the opening period, Tulsa outscored Wichita 7-1 over the next 40 minutes and recorded its first comeback win of the season. The Oilers posted their highest goal total of the season and picked up the game-tying and game-winning goals from Todd Robinson and Ryan Cramer in a span of just 23 seconds in the third period. Saturday, the Oilers improved to 3-1 against Wichita with a 3-2 overtime triumph. Defenseman Jarred Mohr, activated from the IR before the game, tapped home the game-winner against his former team and gave Tulsa a weekend sweep in Wichita. The Oilers completed a stretch of three games in three days on Sunday with a 6-3 win on home ice in the first ever meeting against the Brampton Beast. Michel Beausoleil scored twice for Tulsa and was one of six Oilers to finish with multiple points on the evening.

Winning Record: At 7-6-2, the Oilers are above the .500 mark for the first time since November 11, 2012. After an 0-5-2 start, Tulsa has won seven of its last eight games and has climbed to fifth in the CHL standings.

100 Club: With his empty net goal on Sunday evening, veteran forward Michel Beausoleil became the fifth player in Oilers history to score 100 goals. The 33-year old winger recorded three points on Sunday (2 goals, 1 assist) and moved into sole possession of sixth place on the Oilers all-time points list with 232. Beausoleil, in his sixth season with Tulsa, leads the Oilers with nine goals and a +9 rating.

Out of the Box: Even though they recorded nine penalty minutes on Sunday, the Oilers didn't allow the Beast a single power play. The Oilers held an opponent without a power play for the first time this season and for the first time since February 9, 2013 in a 5-2 loss at Missouri.

"Fish" Fills In and Thrives: In the absence of Ben Gordon this weekend, Drew Fisher was elevated to the Oilers top line and posted four points (1 goal, 3 assists) in three games. The second-year pro was +4 over the weekend and has at least one point in four of his last five appearances.

All Positive: Every single player on the Oilers active roster has a plus-minus rating of even or better. As a team, Tulsa is +54 through 15 games.

Set-Up Savant: Oilers center Todd Robinson is on a six-game point streak and has chipped in nine assists over that span. Robinson leads the Oilers in assists (15), points (19), power play assists (6), and power play points (7). The British Columbia native ranks third in the CHL scoring race and assisted on all three Tulsa goals in Saturday's 3-2 overtime victory in Wichita.

Beauregard Fights and Finishes: Forward Alexandre Beauregard was activated from the 14-day IR prior to Saturday's game in Wichita and wasted little time make his presence felt in the Oilers lineup. Beauregard traded punches with Thunder heavyweight Ryan Hand in the first period of Saturday's 3-2 overtime victory. Sunday afternoon, the 22-year old barreled into the offensive zone to tap in a rebound for his first goal of the season and his first goal as an Oiler and followed up with a second period fight against Beast defenseman, Erik Spady.

Stingy on Shots: The Oilers are allowing a CHL-low 29 shots per game. Tulsa has held its opponent to 30 shots or fewer in ten of its fifteen games this season.
