Wichita Looks to Rebound Tonight at Tulsa

TULSA, OK (Oct. 30) – The Wichita Thunder, ECHL affiliate of the NHL's San Jose Sharks, AHL's San Jose Barracuda and powered by Toyota, continues its first road trip of the season tonight at 7:05 p.m. with a rematch against longtime rival, Tulsa at the BOK Center.

This is the third meeting of the season between the Thunder and the Oilers. All-time, Wichita is 178-167-40 vs. Tulsa and 77-93-19 on the road against the Oilers. 

Tonight is the second of three-straight this week between the two teams and third of a six-game mini-series between the Thunder and the Oilers to open the season. 

Tulsa earned a 6-0 victory last night, handing Wichita its first loss of the year. The Oilers are 3-0-0 at home this season while the Thunder dropped their first road game of the year. 

With the loss, Wichita is now in a four-way tie for third place with six points.

The Thunder power play had their streak of at least two goals in a game on the man advantage snapped last night. Despite that, Wichita is second in the league on the power play, operating at 30%. Tulsa is 1-for-12 to start the season, which is good for 8.3%.
