Boise, ID - The Oilers fell in a one-goal game to the Idaho Steelheads on Friday night at Century Link Arena. The Steelheads, sporting their Jayden DeLuca Foundations jerseys, defeated Tulsa 2-1. Kevin Carr would stop 28 shots and rookie forward Dan DeSalvo tallied his fifth point in three games with his fifteenth assist of the season.

In the right place at the right time, Andre Bouvet-Morrissette tapped in the rebound off of Carr's skate and gave Idaho a one goal lead 9:12 into the first period. Tulsa's response time would come roughly four minutes later. Emerson Clark, his twelfth of the season, worked the angle and shoved one in past Jack Campbell to put his team on the board, 1-1.

The Steelheads scored the solitary goal of period two. In recovery from a 360 spin due to collision with Taylor Peters, Carr was beat to the net and Rob Linsmayer would score. In the meantime, one would find Captain Nathan Lutz in the corner getting physical with Peters in defense of his netminder.

The final frame got heated when Emil Molin and Aaron Harstad each threw a few punches and accepted double major punishment. Both goaltenders, Carr and Campbell, performed stellar to polish off the final 20 minutes- neither allowed goals.

The Oilers would have to settle on the series at 1-2-0-0, at least for tonight. A chance for revenge comes tomorrow when Tulsa returns to Century Link Arena to battle out round four with the Steelheads at 7:10 CST.
