LATE-GAME STRIKE GIVES MAVERICKS VICTORY

David Cotton’s goal in final three minutes secures 2-0 series lead for Kansas City heading to Tulsa

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. —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 3-2 to the Kansas City Mavericks at Cable Dahmer Arena on Thursday  night, putting the Mavericks up 2-0 in the season series.

Alec Butcher gave the Oilers the opening goal of the contest for the second-straight night, delivering a rebound off a Kyle Crnkovic pass-to-pad shot past Jack LaFontaine 6:01 into the game. The tally was the lone of the opening frame, sending the Oilers up 1-0 into the second period. 

Bradley Schoonbaert, tied the game 1-1 in his series debut 8:47 into the second period. Patrick Curry gave Kansas City its first lead of the game 2:33 past the midway mark of the game, driving a power-play one timer past Julian Junca. 

Michael Farren scored his first of the series to tie the game 2-2 11:42 into the final frame, executing a perfect finish from a cross-zone seam pass from Blake McLaughlin. David Cotton delivered the death nell with 2:21 remaining, tucking an in-stride snapper above Junca’s short side, securing a 3-2 Mavericks’ win. 

The Oilers host their first home game of the series tomorrow, April 19 at the BOK Center at 7:05 p.m.
