RESULTS

Friday, Dec. 15 – Tulsa 5, Colorado 3  (BOK Center – Tulsa, OK) | Box Score | Video Highlights

>> In the first meeting of the season between the Oilers and defending Kelly Cup Champions, Tulsa jumped out to an early 1-0 lead thanks to a goal from newcomer Mark Bennett on his first shift 1:20 into the game.

Saturday, Dec. 16 – Allen 5, Tulsa 2  (BOK Center – Tulsa, OK) | Box Score | Video Highlights

>> The Americans vaulted into a 3-0 first period lead, thanks to a natural hat trick from forward Vincent Arseneau. After the third tally, Tulsa replaced starting goaltender Jake Hildebrand with backup Devin Williams. Minutes into the second period, Casey Pierro-Zabotel added a short-handed breakaway goal to make it 4-0. After a long wait, Oilers fans were able to celebrate the team’s annual Teddy Bear Toss, when Garrett Ladd snapped a shot past Allen goaltender Jeremy Brodeur with 1:45 left in the middle frame.
