TAHOE KNIGHT MONSTERS SEIZE FIRST MEETING WITH OILERS  

Simon Pinard nets first-period hattrick, adds third-period tally while Jordan Papirny posts shutout in Knight Monsters debut

STATELINE, Nev. —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 4-0 to the Tahoe Knight Monsters at the Tahoe Blue Event Center on Wednesday night.

Simon Pinard drove through the neutral zone for a breakaway, five-hole goal on Tahoe’s first shot of the game 2:37 into the action. Pinard put Tahoe up 2-0 exactly 10 minutes later, clapping home a one timer set up by Bear Hughes on a seam pass. Hughes linked up with Pinard for the third time of the frame with 3:36 left in the period, securing Pinard an opening-frame hat trick.

Jordan Papirny and Vyacheslav Buteyets stood tall through the second period, maintaining the score line through the frame.

Pinard closed the score 4-0, delivering all four strikes in the game. Jordan Papirny finished the game with a 36-save shutout, the first in franchise history.

The Oilers aim to bounce back against the Knight Monsters on Friday, Nov. 15 in Stateline, Nevada at 9:30 p.m. CT at Tahoe Blue Event Center.
