OILERS CONTINUE LEAGUE-BEST STREAK, EARN 10TH WIN OF SEASON
Oilers extend point streak to seven games with 4-1 victory over Utah
TULSA, Okla. —The Tulsa Oilers, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks and the AHL’s San Diego Gulls and powered by Community Care, defeated the Utah Grizzlies 4-1 at the BOK Center on Sunday evening.
Duggie Lagrone put the Oilers on the board first with his first of the season — an on-ice shot from the right point that was deflected by a Grizzly through Dante Gianuzzi’s five hole. Jaxsen Wiebe extended his point streak to three games, netting his first professional short-handed goal with 5:16 remaining in the first period. Kyle Crnkovic secured the lone assist for his team-high 20th point of the campaign.
Cole Gallant cut the Oilers lead to one, finishing a tic-tac-toe passing sequence to beat Julian Junca 5:18 into the period. The tally was the only goal of the second frame.
Kishaun Gervais ended the game’s goal drought with a top-shelf snipe set up by Karl Boudrias and Jimmy Lodge with 8:40 remaining to put Tulsa up 3-1. Tyler Poulsen closed the scoring on his team-leading eighth goal of the season with 5:08 left.
