Tulsa pulled level after entering the final frame MOUNTAIN DIVISION behind by two tallies. Neither team were able to take advantage of the open ice during the STANDINGS seven-minute, three-on-three overtime challenge, leading to a skills competition that saw Wichita emerge victorious. Peter Crinella was the lone shootout scorer. 1. RAPID CITY- 2 POINTS TWO ENDS OF THE SAME ROPE 2. WICHITA - 2 POINTS Tulsa picked up a pair of goals in the opening contest. Both of the goals came in the final frame, and 3. KANSAS CITY - 1 POINTS both were scored in similar fashion, but the goal scorers were quite different. Adam Pleskach, who 4. TULSA - 1 POINTS leads the Oilers in all statistical categories since joining the ECHL in 2014-15, opened the scoring. The 5. ALLEN - 0 POINTS goal put him just five shy of 200 professional goals —a mile marker rarely met. Gregg Burmaster pulled 6. UTAH- 0 POINTS the second goal out of the hat, cramming home the puck on a strong effort play. The goal was not goal number 195, but instead was his first ECHL goal. Burmaster will look to continue his run, with teams having the ability to field four lines. PAST 10 GAMES SEARCHING FOR GOLOD Forward Maxim Golod joins fellow rookie Bryce Kindopp and goaltender Olle Eriksson Ek as 12/11 vs WIC (3-2 OTL) players assigned by the Anaheim Ducks of the AHL. Golod is only 20 years old, and has not made a professinal appearance. However, it will not be his first taste of professional hockey. The Ducks-contracted forward went to development camp with the Detroit Red Wings, impressing enough to get an invite to the main camp. His 78 points and 53 points both led the Erie Otters last season. Golod also played alongside the Ducks sixth-overall pick Jamie Drysdale while with Erie. AMERICAN TOUGH The Allen Americans are coming off another strong season. The Americans topped the Mountain Division before the season came to a halt, and beat the Oilers in seven of the 10 contests last season. Tulsa will look to get the upper-hand against the experienced squad, 2020-21 OILERS LEADERS 2020-21 ALLEN LEADERS PROUD ECHL AFFILIATE: ANAHEIM DUCKS POINTS: Several Tied at 1 POINTS: GOALS: Pleskach, Burmaster - 1 GOALS: ASSISTS: Llewellyn, McKee, Balsamo - 1 ASSISTS: +/-: Llewellyn - 2 +/-: PIMS: Burmaster, Jenkins - 2 PIMS: WINS: WINS: SAVE %: Devin Williams - SAVE %: PREGAME SHOW: 6:45 PM | MIXLR.COM/TULSAOILERS | MIXLR APP BROADCAST: | PXP: ZACK REYNOLDS.
