TULSA, OK – The Tulsa Oilers, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets and AHL’s Manitoba Moose, have acquired experienced defenseman Brandon Martell from the Alaska Aces in exchange for goaltender Kevin Carr, as announced by Oilers Head Coach Jason Christie on Friday.

The goaltender from Unionville, Ontario went 21-21-2 in 2015-16, with a 2.39 goals-against average, a .911 save percentage and three shutouts. His 2,616 minutes in net for Tulsa last season were fifth most in the ECHL.
