OILERS GRAB POINT AFTER THIRD-PERIOD RALLY IN EVENTUAL OVERTIME LOSS
Oilers force overtime with help of a three-point effort from Conner Roulette but fall 4-3 to Utah Grizzlies
TULSA, Okla.—Tulsa Oilers, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks and the AHL’s San Diego Gulls and powered by Community Care, earned one point in the standings in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Utah Grizzlies on Saturday night at the BOK Center.
Keaton Mastradonato kicked off the scoring 5:02 into the game, roofing a sharp-angle backhander over Vyacheslav Buteyets’ shoulder to put the Grizzlies up 1-0 for the third-straight game. Andrew Lucas leveled the game 1-1 10 minutes later, depositing a feed from Conner Roulette into a yawning cage.
Luke Manning put Utah back up 4:19 into the second period, popping a shot past Bueteyets off a pass from Reed Lebster. Lebster made it 3-1 with a goal of his own, a power-play tally, 1:56 into the second half of the game. Lebster’s strike was his third of the week — scoring once in all three games.
Roulette pulled the Oilers within one, deflecting a shot from Sean Olson on the edge of the crease with 7:19 remaining in regulation. Olson tied the game 3-3 with his fourth goal of the week, converting a set-up from Roulette 2:25 later to force overtime. Reid Petryk registered his team-leading 23rd assist on the goal.
Neil Shea grabbed the puck off of the opening faceoff of overtime, earning a 4-3 Grizzlies’ victory with his team-leading 18th goal of the campaign seven seconds into the extra frame.
The Oilers travel to Cable Dahmer Arena in Independence, Missouri on Friday, Feb. 14 for a 7:05 date with the first-place Kansas City Mavericks.
