LUSH BLANKS NAILERS FOR FIRST PROFESSIONAL WIN
Luke Lush earns first professional victory as Oilers strike in all three periods of 3-0 shutout win over Wheeling
WHEELING, W. Va—Tulsa Oilers, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks and the AHL’s San Diego Gulls and powered by Community Care, defeated the Wheeling Nailers in shutout fashion, 3-0, at WesBanco Arena on Friday night.
Tyler Poulsen opened the scoring with his 13th goal of the season, beating Sergei Murashov in stride with a snapshot from the right-wing circle 13:22 into the action to put the Oilers up 1-0.
Justin Michaelian extended Tulsa’s lead to 2-0 4:01 into the middle frame. Michaelian reached double digits by bashing home a Mike McKee tip off a Cade McNelly shot.
Reid Petryk secured a 3-0 victory for the Oilers, blasting a seam pass from Easton Brodzinski past a sprawling Murashov 6:52 into the final frame.
Luke Lush stopped all 17 Nailers’ chances to secure a shutout and his first professional win in his second career start.
The Oilers and Nailers do battle again tomorrow, Feb. 22 at 6:10 p.m. CT inside WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, West Virginia
