OILERS SHUTOUT BRAHMAS FOR TOUGH ROAD WIN
FORT WORTH, TX – With the defense clicking and Ian Keserich turning in another strong performance in net, the lack of offense didn’t hurt the Oilers in a 1-0 win over the Texas Brahmas on Friday night.
Gary Steffes recorded the game’s only goal late in the second period as the Oilers beat the Brahmas for the fourth time in five meetings. Steffes picked up a loose puck and sped down the left wing beating Steve Silverthorn underneath the glove. Tulsa held on through the third period to improve to 9-11-2 on the road.
Keserich turned aside all 23 Texas shots to register his second shutout of the season. The only other Oilers shutout came against the Brahmas back on October 22 in the second game of the season.
After dropping six of seven games, the Oilers are 2-0-1 in their last three. Tulsa will play its fifth consecutive road game tomorrow night in Wichita.
