Brahmas take on Tulsa at NYTEXBulls seek fifth win in a row vs. 3-7-1 Oilers
The 8-3-1 Texas Brahmas will meet the Tulsa Oilers on the ice for the first time this season Saturday night at the NYTEX Sports Centre.
The Oilers took a 6-4 loss at home Friday night versus the Mississippi RiverKings. At 3-7-1, Tulsa is tied with the Rocky Mountain Rage for least points (7) and the bottom of the Northern Conference. The only bright side of the Oilers 1-4-1 road record is that their one win came against the Colorado Eagles.
Tulsa is the fourth most penalized team in the league. It's an understatement to call the Oilers' defense weak and their goaltending is awful. Tulsa has given up 55 goals in 11 games and their goaltenders have only three wins between them.
On special teams, the Oilers are last in the league with a 71.58 penalty kill percentage and 14th in the league in power play percentage at 14.49%.
It's hard to find anything positive to say about the Oilers this season, but keep an eye on sniper Michel Beausoleil. The 28-year-old right wing has scored points in nine straight games, including eleven in the last five.
The game starts at 7:05pm and will be broadcast on Nifty-TV. It's $1 hot dog night, so bring your appetites!
