Tulsa defeats Thunder 3-2
The Tulsa Oilers’ three first-period goals were enough to withstand the Thunder’s two third-period goals in the Oilers’ 3-2 win Friday night at Intrust Bank Arena in the Thunder’s first home game in two weeks.
The Oilers scored three goals in the first 10:52 of the game, then both teams went silent offensively until the opening minutes of the third.
Louick Marcotte scored both Thunder goals, the first at 1:42 of the third and the other at 18:56.
The teams meet again Saturday night at Intrust.
