Fort Worth Brahmas News Release
TULSA, Oklahoma - Goalie Jeff Harvey notched his first shutout as a Texas Brahma with a 4-0 win against the Tulsa Oilers. The Brahmas set the defensive tone for the evening by killing off a 5-3 powerplay early in the first period which carried through for the entire game.
Harvey ¬â¢s shutout was the first in his professional career and was the third Brahmas goalie to pitch a shutout this season (Wayne Savage and Kevin Beech the others).
The Brahmas made their presence known when Chad Wollard found daylight past Oilers goalie Ian Keserich at the 12:12 minute mark in the first period. With an assist from Deitch and Hogeboom, Wollard scored his 12th goal of the season. While the Oilers led the first frame in shots on goal, Brahmas netminder Harvey put up a strong defense as they closed the first period with a 1-0 lead.
The Brahmas came out full force at the beginning of the second period, but couldn ¬â¢t find the back of the net until the 11:25 mark when center Chris Moran slipped a surprise shot over the shoulder of the Oilers goaltender. With a strong defensive effort and solid goaltending, the Brahmas continued the shutout with a 2-0 lead going into the third period.
The Oilers came out in desperation, challenging Harvey with 15 shots on goal, but to no avail. Harvey continued his flawless performance en route to the whitewash. The Brahmas capped off the night by doubling their score with goals from Jason Deitsch and Todd Griffith. The Brahmas skate away victorious and evened the record against the Oilers at one win apiece.
The Brahmas end a two game road trip at Odessa on Sunday, December 26. Games can be seen on CHL-TV. The Brahmas next home game is set for Tuesday, December 28 when they host the Allen Americans for the second game of the Fire and Ice Vintage Series with a 7:00 pm start at the NYTEX Sports Centre.
