OILERS END NECK-AND-NECK WEEKEND WITH ALLEN ON OVERTIME LOSS

Goulbourne extends point streak to three games as Oilers earn three of six points on weekend

TULSA, Okla. — 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 2-1 in overtime to the Allen Americans at the BOK Center on Sunday afternoon.

Josh Nelson put the Oilers up 1-0 with his 10^th goal of the season — a new career high — banking an angled lob from the corner off Marco Costantini and over the goal line 13:48 into the action. Tyrell Goulbourne added the primary assist on Nelson’s goal, giving the Oilers captain four points during a three-game point streak.

Danny Katic scored his 22^nd of the season with five minutes remaining in the second period, cramming a late-whistle scramble past Vyacheslav Buteyets to tie game 1-1.

Both goaltenders stopped several grade-A chances in the final frame of regulation, and both sets of skaters squandered multiple yawning-cage opportunities. Buteyets and Costantini both left the frame with 10 saves, sending the game to overtime.

Brayden Watts scored the game-clinching goal 3:21 into overtime, squeezing a shot through Buteyets on the Americans’ 34^th shot of the game.

The Oilers head to Greenville, South Carolina for their lone Eastern Conference road trip of the season, kicking off the three-game set against the Swamp Rabbits on Thursday, Feb. 19 at 6:05 p.m. CT.
