The Oilers have had several roster updates within the past week. Brandon Wong and Trevor Campbell were sent to Indy Fuel as part of a trade deal to acquire Josh Brittain. Josh will provide speed and size to the Oilers as he maneuvers his way through the ice as one of Tulsa’s forwards. Another newcomer, Riley Armstrong, landed in Tulsa as a result of a trade with the Reading Royals. He will amplify the team with both NHL and European hockey experience. The trade for Riley Armstrong gave the Royals’ future consideration. Brennan Serville, was re-assigned by the Manitoba Moose to Tulsa. The Moose are the AHL affiliate of the Tulsa Oilers. The Oilers are looking forward to the defensive abilities Serville has produced. Another roster change, Joe Sova was traded to Toledo in exchange for future considerations.
The Tulsa Oilers are hosting the Quad City Mallards for two of the three Valentine’s Day weekend games. This year the Oilers have seen the Quad City Mallards two times this season. Quad City will be in the 918 both February 12th and February 13th. Currently, the Oilers are ranked four spots above the Mallards in the ECHL Western Conference rankings.
While we’re on the top of Quad City, you won’t want to miss the Tulsa Oilers take on the Mallards on Saturday night, February 13th. Two of our very own Oilers were selected to the ECHL Fantasy Teams by great fans, like you! One player and one goaltender from each were selected to wear these jerseys this year. Our votes were counted and it was decided the Mathieu Gagnon and Kevin Carr, ranked fourth among all ECHL goaltender and boasts over 2000 minutes spent defending our net, will be representing the Oilers on the fantasy team and have the opportunity to wear these special jerseys on Saturday night, right here in Tulsa.
Dan DeSalvo will look to keep his hot streak hot. He is currently pumping out a six game point streak, and looks to make tonight against Quad City his seventh. Make sure you head out to the BOK Center to cheer him on to success to keep his point streak hot. Not only does DeSalve have a point streak, but he also ranks among the ECHL Rookies.

DeSalvo is the top rookie in the entire ECHL for a plus-minus of 19.
The Oilers will remain in Tulsa to face the Wichita Thunder on Valentine’s Day. The Oilers have battled the Thunder several times this season, being rivals located only three hours from each other. These games often come with plenty of fights, goals, and the occasional shootout. Thunder and Oilers mix no better than Oil and water. This is a game you sure will want to bring the love of your life to. And, we all know school isn’t a thing on Monday, so be sure to bring the kids out, too!

So grab the kids, and your special someone and head on down to the BOK Center where we would love to have you even if you love someone more than us (which isn’t really possible, but we understand you would prefer not to sleep in the dog house tonight). You are probably going to want to bring a few extra dollars so you can get the kids a few chuck-a-pucks and let them win you a sweet new ride! It’s a great way to show them just how much you care.

The Oilers are presently, live time, playing the Quad City Mallards. The Oilers took a huge 3-0 leave over the visiting team but then allowed two goals as Kevin Carr just could not beat them to the puck. The teams would sit 3-2 going into the final frame. The Oilers have been heavily oustshooting the Oilers the entire game–doubling their shots on goal.
