INDEPENDENCE, Mo.— The Tulsa Oilers, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks and the AHL’s San Diego Gulls and powered by Community Care, fell 4-0 to the reigning Western Conference Champion Kansas City Mavericks in Game 6.
Cade Borchardt scored his Mavericks-leading fourth goal of the series 9:45 into the game, tucking a short-handed breakaway goal to put Kansas City up 1-0. Jackson Berezowski was the recipient of a snappy tic-tac-toe play with 3:28 left in the opening period, putting the Mavericks up 2-0 through one.
Damien Giroux closed the second period at a 3-0 score, spinning backhander from just outside Vyacheslav Buteyets’ crease with 2:01 left in the middle frame.
Nolan Sullivan closed the game 4-0 with 6:53 remaining.
The result brings the Oilers 2024-25 season to a close. The 2024-25 Tulsa Oilers set franchise records in road victories (22) and average attendance (7585), reached 40 wins for just the second time since the franchise’s founding in 1992 (2018-19 team) and scored more than 240 goals for just the second time since joining the ECHL in 2014 (2014-15 team). The Oilers 88 points earned were also second most in franchise history, trailing only the 2018-19 Mountain Division Champions (90 points).
