In a game where much of the pressure was on the Rapid City Rush, Les Reaney had it free and easy.
The winger came through with two relatively open chances late in a contest with Tulsa on Tuesday, scoring the tying goal with less than 9 minutes remaining and the overtime game-winner in a 4-3 road win over the Oilers.

Reaney converted on an unassisted shorthanded chance on a breakaway, putting the puck past Tulsa goaltender Ian Keserich with 8:28 to go to tie the game at 3-all. In the extra session, Reaney made the most of a nice feed from Jeff Kyrzakos just more than 2 minutes into overtime to seal the Rush's second consecutive victory.
Tim Boron moved to a perfect 3-0 in net on the season, surviving a near-constant barrage of Tulsa shots. The Oilers peppered the net 37 times compared with the Rush's 23. Keserich made 19 saves in defeat.
Rapid City (5-1-1) twice had to battle back from one-goal deficits at the BOK Center. Tulsa first took a 2-1 lead on second-period goals from Dylan Clarke and Mike Ullrich. Clarke's goal came just 26 seconds into the second frame as he fired the Oilers' first shot of the period into the top-left corner.
