OILERS FALL TO AMERICANS FOR FIRST TIME THIS SEASON
Zachary Brooks’ first ECHL goal not enough to extend Oilers win streak over Americans
ALLEN, Texas.— The Tulsa Oilers, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks and the AHL’s San Diego Gulls, and powered by Community Care, lost 5-2 to the Allen Americans at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center on Wednesday night.
Quinn Warmuth struck in the opening three minutes, — a trend plaguing the Oilers lately — placing the Americans up 1-0 at the 2:40 mark of the contest. Andre Anania added a second Americans’ goal 4:59 in, beating Vyacheslav Buteyetsshort side, giving Allen two goals in the opening five minutes. Zachary Brooks cut the Americans lead in half with his first career ECHL goal —a rebound following a couple in-tight chances — with just 2:53 left in the period. Josh Nelsonleveled the contest 2-2 less than a minute later, popping another lip-of-the-crease rebound over Marco Costantini to send both teams into the middle frame with a pair of goals.
Spencer Asuchak scored the only second-period goal, the eventual game winner, 6:41 into the stanza, finishing a feed from Brayden Watts to jump the Americans ahead 3-2.
Colby McAuley sealed the Americans 5-2 win with a pair of goals in the final third of action, netting his fourth of the campaign at the 8:03 mark before scoring his fifth of the season, and Allen’s fifth on the night, via a power-play goal with 5:52 remaining.
The Oilers play the second-of-three games against the Americans this week on Friday, Dec. 19 at 7:10 p.m. at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center. Game three takes place at the BOK Center on Saturday, Dec. 20 at 7:05 p.m. Tulsa closes its four-game week hosting Utah for Paint the Ice on Sunday, Dec. 21, with puck drop coming at 3:05 p.m.
