OILERS STUMBLE IN FOURTH OF FIVE-STRAIGHT AGAINST AMERICANS 

Oilers produce season high 55 shots in 4-2 loss to Americans 

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, fell to the Allen Americans 4-2 at the BOK Center on Friday night.  

Blake Murray kicked the scoring off just 37 seconds into the action, taking advantage of a rolling puck before spanking it underneath the blocker of Troy Kobryn, giving the Americans a 1-0 lead. Bennett MacArthur extended the Americans lead to 2-0, sneaking home a quasi-breakaway four-on-four with 2:42 left in the frame. 

Kishaun Gervais scored his second goal in as many games, tucking a carom from the end wall behind Marco Costantini 3:16 into the period to cut Allen’s lead to 2-1. Grant Hebert scored from the slot 5:04 later, putting the Americans up two goals through two periods. 

The third period remained scoreless until Karl Boudrias ripped home a clapper from the left circle with 3:01 remaining in the game. Alec Butcher and Bair Gendunov recorded assists, giving them each a pair and all four Oilers’ assists combined in the game. Eric Williams closed the score line 4-2 with a long-distance, empty-net goal 

The Oilers travel to Allen, closing the five-game series at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center at 4:10 p.m. tomorrow, Feb. 17. The Oilers then travel to Wichita, taking on the Thunder at 4:05 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 18 at INTRUST Bank Arena.
