The Tulsa Oilers scored the only goal of the opening period when Tulsa’s Josh Nelson scored his 10e of the season where the puck was fired from behind the Allen net and placed on American goaltender Marco Costantini. The Oilers had the edge in shots on goal 11-6 and led 1-0 after the first period.
The Allen Americans had back-to-back power plays early in the second period. The first of two was a five-minute major, but the Americans couldn’t capitalize on the seven minutes of power play time. However, later in the period, with traffic in front of the Oilers net, Danny Katic was able to poke the puck past the Oilers netminder for his 22i.e goal of the season. After 40 minutes of action the match was tied at 1-1.
There was no scoring in the third period so they needed overtime to settle this one and the Americans would get the extra point when Brayden Watts scored his 17.e goal of the season with 3:39 left in overtime, giving the Americans the 2–1 victory.
Jackson Parsons was recalled by the Ottawa Senators today and reassigned to the Belleville Senators. Parsons has played in eight games since returning from the AHL in January and had a 3-4-1 record. Rob Mattison was the E-bug behind Marco Costantini today
