Vincent Marleau leads the pack, producing two multi-point games in that stretch, including a power-play goal. Matt Lane has a pair of multi-point games during the span as well. Tonight, the line will be separated due to personnel changes, but look for all three players to continue their good form. WESTERN CONFERENCE SAMPAIRED UP Charlie Sampair returns to the lineup from his time with San Diego of the AHL. STANDINGS (WIN PCT) Sampair collected a goal during his five-game stint with the Gulls. Returning to 1. WICHITA(.670) Tulsa’s lineup for the first time since March 14, Sampair will once again be paired 2. FORT WAYNE - (.667) up with his long-time linemate Adam Pleskach.

The Oilers lead the season series 5-1-0-1, despite the Thunder leading the Western Conference. The Oilers have a solid record against the Thunder over the past five seasons, going 35-16-0-2 against their longest-standing opponent. Anthony Beauregard’s 52 points are top in the ECHL. The small, but feisty playmaker is somebody to watch. Jay Dickman is third in scoring among rookies. Unlike Beauregard, Dickman towers over the competition, measuring in at 6’6, 230. Matteo Gennaro has slowed as of late, but is a forward who can score from any spot in the offensive zone, evidenced by his 15 goals in 38 games. Former Oiler Mathieu Gagnon brings a dependable and physical presence to the lineup, and Stefan Fournier mixes a gritty style with a scoring touch, tucking 16 goals this season.
