OILERS FALL TO THUNDER IN OVERTIME FOR SECOND TIME ON WEEK 

Oilers take lead following two-period deficit before falling in overtime 

WICHITA, Kans. —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 3-2 in overtime to the Wichita Thunder in the season series finale on Sunday evening  

Nick Nardella popped home the lone goal of the opening frame 17:48 into the action, finishing a feed from Kobe Walker to put the Thunder on top 1-0. 

Both teams would leave the second period at the same score, with each team matching its first-period shot total, 13 for the Thunder, with Tulsa generating 11 chances. 

Michael Farren leveled the game 1-1 3:30 into the final period, snapping Trevor Gorsuch’s shutout streak. Alec Butcher gave Tulsa its first lead of the game with his team-leading sixth power-play goal of the season 1:46 later. Jay Dickman tied the game 2-2 with 50 seconds remaining in regulation, forcing the fourth overtime of the season series.

Mitch Russel followed up on a Nolan Kneen chance laying in the crease, jamming the puck home 3:53 into the overtime, completing the weekend sweep. 

The Oilers kick off the final week of the 2023-24 regular season with a 7:05 p.m. puck drop against the Allen Americans at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Allen, Texas on Friday, April 12
