2020-21 GAME NOTES Tulsa Oilers f ECHL GAME #416 TULSA OILERS vs UTAH GRIZZLIES OILERS 2020-21 Record FRIDAY, May 14 - BOK CENTER (TULSA, OK) OVERALL: 26-26-7-2 HOME: 12-13-3-2 TULSA OILERS UTAH GRIZZLIES 26-26-7-2 (61 PTS) 27-21-5-6 (65 PTS) AWAY: 14-13-4-0 Sixth Place - WEST Fourth Place - WEST HEAD COACH: ROB MURRAY (4th SEASON) HEAD COACH:Tim Branham CONLAN KEY-MAN Rookie forward Conlan Keenan enters tonight’s contest with three goals in his last three games. A SUNY-Oswego product, Keenan has seen limited action this season. Originally signed with Toledo, the rookie forward made his pro debut with Tulsa on Jan. 28. The rookie had only played four games in April before being called upon for the series against the Allen Americans. Keenan scored all three of his goals at big times, including the goal that jumpstarted a 4-2 comeback against Allen at the Allen Event Center. Keenan showed tenacity and grit on two of his three goals, outworking the hulking opposition. His lone power-play WESTERN CONFERENCE goal on the season came in the 4-2 win, sniping the goaltender glove side. Keenan looks to continue his strong form as he continues to gain more experience.
