STATELINE, NV – The Tahoe Knight Monsters, proud ECHL Affiliate of the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights and the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights, took down the Tulsa Oilers in the opening game of a three-game series by a score of 7 to 2. 
Tahoe took control from the jump, as Kevin Wall, Devon Paliani, and Luke Adam all scored first-period goals against Oilers goaltender Christian Propp to jump out to an early 3-0 lead.
In the second, the Knight Monsters did not hold back. Sloan Stanick tallied his league-leading 13th goal of the season to make it 4-0. Wall added his second of the game, and Mike O’Leary scored at the end of the frame to make it 6-0 Knight Monsters heading into the final 20 minutes.
In the third, Tulsa finally got on the board with Konnor Smith’s first goal of the season to make it 6-1. After Mike O’Leary scored on a penalty shot to make it 7-1, Easton Armstrong found the back of the net for his Oilers-leading seventh goal of the year to make it 7-2 Tahoe, but it was too little too late, as the Knight Monsters earned a big victory.
Cameron Whitehead continued to display wizardry in between the pipes, stopping 38 of 40 Oilers shots. The Knight Monsters only had four players who failed to record a point.
