David Tendeck came into the game in relief of Barone after the tally. Cedric Montminy made a move below the dots on the power play, bringing the score 4-2 in the Oilers’ favor. Avery Peterson scored his third of the week 35 seconds before the midway point of the game, labeling the puck into the right corner. Pleskach made it 5-3 with 56 seconds left in the second period, looking off the goaltender before finishing the two-on-one chance.  

Tyler Coulter ramped a centering feed past Hayden Hawkey on the power play, bringing the score 5-4 in Tulsa’s favor 8:29 into the third. Stephen Baylis tied the game 5-5, tucking the puck blocker side from outside the crease with 2:59 left.
