Game Preview: Tulsa Oilers(13-7-4-2) at Indy Fuel (12-12-0-0)

Saturday Dec. 15, 2018 at 6:35 p.m. C.T. Indiana Farmer’s Coliseum  (6,800)

The Oilers look close out their difficult road trip with a win. Tulsa has lost all seven games on the trip, but have picked up points in two of the last three. Last night’s point kept the Oilers second in the division, but Idaho, Kansas City and Rapid City are closing in quickly in a playoff race where second (Tulsa) and fifth place (Kansas City) are separated by just two points. Indy will look to use the momentum from last night’s overtime victory, which extended their impressive home record to 9-3.
