Tulsa Oilers News Release
TULSA, OK - The Tulsa Oilers, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Anaheim Ducks and the AHL's San Diego Gulls, and powered by Community Care, defeated the Rapid City Rush 2-0 on Friday night at WeStreet Ice Center.
Jake Sibell halted all 14 shots during a first-period barrage that saw Rapid City record 11 more shots than Tulsa.
Both goaltenders stood tall in the second frame. Connor Murphy saw the most action, saving all 15 shots from the Oilers.
Jonny Hooker broke the deadlock 2:34 into the final frame, scrounging around the crease to poke home his first professional goal. Hooker sealed the 2-0 score line with his second of the period less than two minutes later - tapping home a cross-crease feed at the 4:06 mark.
Sibell earned his first professional clean sheet, the second of the season for the Oilers, after stopping 32 Rush scoring chances.
The Oilers and Rush square off again tomorrow, Feb. 28 at the BOK Center, with puck drop at 7:05 p.m. following Bedlam on Ice.
