FOUR SEPARATE GOAL SCORERS LEAD OILERS PAST GRIZZ

Tulsa defeated the top team in the Mountain Division 4-2 on the road

WEST VALLEY CITY, UT —Tulsa defeated the first-place Utah Grizzlies 4-2 at the Maverik Center on Wednesday night.

Darren McCormick drew first blood 15:49 into the game, tipping a blue-line snapper from Duggie Lagrone past Trent Miner.

Johnny Walker scored his first professional game on the power play 11 seconds past the mid-way mark of the game, tying the game 1-1. Alex Gilmour put Tulsa back on top with 3:30 left in the second, extending his stick and backhanding the puck into the back on the net.

Charle-Edouard D’Astous leveled the game 2-2 with Utah’s second power-play goal of the game, uncorking a one timer from the right circle beyond Daniel Mannella just 21 seconds into the final frame. Jack Doremus answered with a power-play goal of his own with 10 minutes remaining, bringing the score 3-2 in the Oilers’ favor. Jackson Leef iced the game with a 4-2 insurance goal, sniping Miner from the right wing with 5:24 remaining.
