Oilers fall 3-2 in overtime after beating Grizzlies 3-2 in overtime last night

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, extended their point streak to four games, losing 3-2 in overtime to Utah on Saturday night at the BOK Center.

For the second-straight night neither team found the back of the net in the opening frame.

Bair Gendunov opened the scoring 1:02 past the midway mark of the game, firing a sharp-angle shot behind Will Cranley to put the Oilers up 1-0. Josh Wesley tied the game 1:09 seconds later, rifling a long-distance snipe past Julian Junca, tying the game 1-1.

Brett Stapley scored his second in as many nights with 5:47 remaining in regulation, giving the Grizzlies their first lead of the night. Alec Butcher forced overtime with 44 seconds remaining, following up with a forehand finish.

Brandon Cutler hammered a power-play, overtime game winner with 1:08 left in overtime to give the Grizzlies the second point.
