Eagles fly over Oilers

LOVELAND, CO.—The Tulsa Oilers (4-5-0) traveled to the Rockies this weekend for a two game set with the Colorado Eagles (3-6-0), a former rival from the Central Hockey League. The teams last faced each other in 2011, when they were two teams moving in opposite directions, the Eagles up, and the Oilers down. In 2015, at least early on, the situation was reversed.
The Oilers came to the games with a record of 4-3-0, riding a three game win streak while the Eagles were still trying to find a rhythm after starting the season 1-6. Both teams were searching for a good weekend and unfortunately, the Eagles were the team blessed with success at home in the Budweiser Events Center. Tulsa was denied two more wins and Colorado made strides to get back on track winning two straight wins after dropping five of their last six games.

TULSA,OK—Prior to Tuesday night’s 3-1 victory by the Tulsa Oilers over the Allen Americans, forward Jordan Kremyr was a journeyman player on the team. His number weren’t too impressive with six penalty minutes and a -6 rating, but he was set to make a big impact as the season moved forward.
Tuesday night, the 29-year old native of Cloverdale, British Columbia made his mark in a big way. The fifth year pro got the game’s first goal 11 seconds after the drop of the puck at the beginning of the game. Kremyr fired in a rebound of an Adam Pleskach shot past Allen goalie Riley Gill to give the Oilers the lead right off the opening faceoff.
