Tulsa opens the 2019-20 regular season Friday at the BOK Center against Kansas City

TULSA, OK – The Tulsa Oilers, proud ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s St. Louis Blues, announced its season-opening roster Thursday ahead of Friday’s 7:05 p.m. season-opening showdown against the Kansas City Mavericks at the BOK Center.

Tulsa’s cupboard is full of NHL and AHL talent, with eight affiliated players on the opening roster. Goaltender Devin Williams returns for his third season between the pipes. Williams is coming off back-to-back seasons where he has won Goaltender of the Month awards in the season’s opening month.

Tulsa starts the season with a three-in-three series at home and six of their first seven matchups at the BOK Center. The nucleus of the 2018-19 Mountain Division champions has returned, including veteran defenseman Steven Kaunisto, forward Charlie Sampair, forward Ian McNulty, defenseman Mike McKee, forward Ryan Tesink, defenseman Eric Drapluk and forward Jared Thomas.
