11/8 (W) BUGS 1, TULSA 0

A HOME WIN!
Joe Ori scores late in the game to give Bossier-Shreveport its first home win in more than seven months.

A BATTLE OF THIRD-PERIOD FUTILITY
The Mudbugs and Oilers have both been outscored 11-3 in third periods this year. Who gives tonight?

ANOTHER CRUCIAL THIRD PERIOD AT CTC
Tulsa has not looked very good. In fact, I can't think of one quality scoring chance before the Oilers' current power play. The Bugs need 2 points tonight.

BUGS STAND STRONG
Now they go on their 4th PP of the night.

BUGS NEED BIG KILL COMING OUT IN THIRD
The Mudbugs need to kill 2:29 left in Darryl Lloyd's 5-minute major penalty for charging late in the second period.
The game is still scoreless, but could change quickly early in the third. Unlike a regular power play, the Oilers can score as many goals as they can during the major penalty.

BUGS HOLD STRONG
The Oilers get no shots on goal during their first power play.

TULSA GETS FIRST PP

THIS GAME IS FLAT OUT BO-RING
There hasn't been one decent hit on either side. This contest -- so far -- is completely reflective of teams with combined records of 3-9-1.

BUGS GET ANOTHER PP
That's 3 for the Bugs and 0 for the Oilers. That darn CHL. It hates Bossier-Shreveport.

PLAYS EVENS OUT; SCORELESS AFTER 1
The Mudbugs started strong, but Tulsa picked up its play as the first period progressed. In the end, it's another scoreless first period at CTC.
These are the types of periods that have come back to bite the Mudbugs. Sooner or later, they have to start taking advantage of their early chances.

WE'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE
The Mudbugs have clearly outplayed Tulsa in the first 10 minutes. They are outshooting the Oilers 8-4, but the game is still scoreless.

GOOD MOVEMENT, NO PAYOFF ON BUGS' FIRST PP
Three shots on goal, but the game is still scoreless.

FORMER BUG ST. PIERRE BETWEEN PIPES FOR TULSA
Kevin St. Pierre, who was named to the Mudbugs' 10th Anniversary Team, has the start in net for Tulsa tonight.

DECARO IN NET FOR MUDBUGS
Fresh off his -- and the team's -- first victory of the year Saturday in Mississippi, Decaro looks to improve his 1-3-1 record.

TIME TO BREAK THE SLUMP?
The Mudbugs (1-5-1) will attempt to snap a franchise record (in regulation) six-game losing streak at CenturyTel Center tonight against the reeling Tulsa Oilers (2-4).
The Oilers were expected to make waves in the Northern Conference this season with the acquisition of Jeff Christian, but the move certainly hasn't paid off yet.
Christian, the CHL's leading scorer a year ago, has no goals and three assists in the first six games. He is also a minus-8.
Yikes.
