Thunder/Oilers Battle on Saturday Night


Old friends get together for the first time since January 7 when the Wichita Thunder (25-13-2) host the Tulsa Oilers (19-15-4) tonight at the INTRUST Bank Arena.  Face-off is set for 7:05 and all the action can be seen LIVE on CHL-TV!

Pregame Notes

It is a big two points on the line for both teams as the Thunder is coming off an embarrassing 5-0 loss at Allen on Friday night in a showdown for the top spot in the Berry Conference.  Wichita now finds themselves one point behind Allen for first place.

The Oilers were involved in a shutout as well last night but they found themselves on the right side of the scoreboard as Ian Keserich made 23 saves stopping the Texas Brahmas, 1-0.  The win moves the Oilers just three points behind the Brahmas for third place in the Berry Conference.

The game will mark the end of a four-game road trip for the Oilers who are 1-1-1 thus far.  Tulsa is 9-11-2 on the road this season.

For Wichita, they have dropped three of their last four games overall but are an impressive 16-4-0 on home ice this season.

Wichita leads the season series five wins to four and have won four of the last five meetings against Tulsa.  In Kansas, the Thunder are 3-1 against the Oilers.
