RAPID CITY, S.D. D - 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 5-2 to the Rapid City Rush on Tuesday night at The Monument in Rapid City, South Dakota.

Both teams left the opening frame scoreless, with Rapid City outshooting the Oilers 7-5.

Parker Bowman scored the first goal of the game 1:51 into the second period, finishing a rebound set up by Connor Mylymok. Kishaun Gervais leveled the game 1-1 with his second goal in as many games, a lethal snipe facilitated by Josh Nelson.

Maurizio Colella knotted the game 2-2 1:57 into the back half of the third period, tipping a blast from Billy Constantinou past Vyacheslav Buteyets.
