OILERS EXACT REVENGE BY SHUTTING OUT MAVERICKS ON TEDDY BEAR TOSS
Boyko pitches 46-save shutout as Oilers top Mavericks 5-0 on Teddy Bear Toss Night in Missouri.
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, shutout the Kansas City Mavericks 5-0 on Saturday night at Cable Dahmer Arena in Independence, Missouri.
Tyler Poulsen scored his seventh of the season, beating Viktor Ostman against the grain 6:19 into the game to send the Oilers up 1-0 into the first intermission. The goal was Poulsen’s first since coming back last night from an injured-reserve hiatus dating back to Nov. 24.
Olivier Dame-Malka put the Oilers up 2-0 with his first as an Oiler, driving a power-play one timer from the right point 5:39 into the action. Jeremie Biakabutuka earned his first assist as an Oiler on the goal, flipping roles with Dame-Malka, who set up Biakabutuka on the power-play in Friday’s game. Reid Petryk recorded the secondary assist on both goals.
Michael Farren finished a beneath-the-line feed from Josh Nelson, putting Tulsa up 3-0 9:07 into the final frame. The goal extends Farren’s point streak to six games. Farren added his second of the frame with an empty-net finish set up by Conner Roulette. Nelson added a goal of his own, beating Ostman with a high-glove snapshot with 13 seconds remaining to seal the 5-0 shutout victory.
Talyn Boyko made 46 saves, stopping 15 shots in the first period, 12 in the second and 19 in the third. The Oilers power play went 1/1 and Tulsa went 6/6 on the penalty kill.
The Oilers return home tomorrow, Dec. 22 to host the Allen Americans at 3:05 p.m. in the final home game of the 2024 calendar year.
