TULSA, Okla. – The Idaho Steelheads (4-4-0)netted a goal within the first two minutes in each of the first two periods and held off the Tulsa Oilers (4-2-0) in a 2-1 win on Sunday evening from the BOK Center.THE GAME’S STORYThe Steelheads struck on the first shot of the game within the first two minutes thanks to a one-time shot from forward Yauheni Aksiantsiuk (1:52 1st) fed from forward Shawn McBride to grab the initial 1-0 lead. The Oilers answered late in the first period to level the scoring, but it wouldn’t take long in the next frame for the Steelheads to answer back. Forward Colton Kehler (PP, 1:40 2nd) took advantage of an early power play to deflect in his first of the year for the 2-1 lead. The Steelheads only had one shot in the third period but held strong defensively for the victory.ICCU 3 STARS OF THE GAME1. IDH – Colton Kehler (game-winning goal)2.
