Oilers Win Close Battle with Allen
(Tulsa Oilers)

Tulsa jumped out to the game's first lead, when Dylan Hubbs cleaned up a rebound in front of the Allen net 1:50 into the opening period. The Americans tied the game when Spencer Asuchak capitalized on an Oilers turnover a snuck a shot over the shoulder of Tulsa goaltender Devin Williams. Tulsa scored on its only power play of the frame, when Eric Drapluk fired a wrist shot under the crossbar to make it 2-1 entering the first intermission.

The Oilers extended their lead when Charlie Sampair raced in on a short-handed breakaway and beat Allen goaltender Stephon Williams to make it 3-1. However, the Americans closed the gap before the second break, when Peter MacArthur snuck behind the Tulsa defense and chipped a shot into the top corner of the net.

Conner Bleackley gave Tulsa a 4-2 lead late in the third period with the second Oilers short-handed goal of the night, but Zach Pochiro scored on that same power play to bring Allen back to within one. Devin Williams was sensational in the final minutes in preserving the Oilers' 4-3 win.
