FUEL MOUNT COMEBACK OVER OILERS 

Short-handed third-period goal gives Fuel sweep on weekend 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. —The Tulsa Oilers, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks and the AHL’s San Diego Gulls and powered by Community Care, lost 4-3 to the Indy Fuel on Saturday night at Indiana Farmers Coliseum. 

Brett Bulmer gave the Fuel the opening goal for the second consecutive night, finishing a net-mouth feed on the power play 5:08 into the game to put Indy up 1-0. Jarod Hilderman tied the game with his eighth of the season, walking down Broadway before snapping a top-shelf twine finder 13:39 into the period, tying the game 1-1. Kishaun Gervais was credited with an Indy own goal with 40 seconds left in the frame, sending the Oilers into the intermission up 2-1. 

D.J. King shoved home a rebound through Julian Junca 2:34 into the second period, tying the game 2-2. Gervais answered with a toe-drag snapshot, fooling the Fuel defense and Zach Driscoll to restore the Oilers lead at 3-2. With seven seconds remaining in the middle frame, Anthony Petruzzelli lobbed a long-distance shot into the back of the net, tying the game 3-3 through two periods. 

Matus Spodniak earned both points for the Fuel with a short-handed breakaway goal with 2:48 remaining, closing the score 4-3 in Indy’s favor. 

The Oilers travel to Boise Idaho, taking on the Steelheads at Idaho Central Arena on Wednesday, March 20 at 8:10 p.m. CT.
