Oilers captain Nathan Lutz battles Mallards forward Jeff Lee on Wednesday night.
On Tuesday and Wednesday night the Tulsa Oilers ended their longest road trip of the season with a 6-3 loss to the Missouri Mavericks and a 2-0 shutout of the Quad City Mallards.
Missouri has been a consistent thorn in the side of the Oilers since they became a team back in 2009.

While these agencies made budget presentations to the committee earlier this year, Senate Appropriations Chairman Clark Jolley said revised revenue figures have dramatically changed since agency heads first appeared before the panel.
In December, lawmakers were told to expect a revenue decrease approaching $300 million compared to the previous year. Last month the final figures revealed the total budget reduction would be about $611 million.
