The Tahoe Knight Monsters aren’t just playing hockey, they’re making a statement. In a jaw-dropping weekend series, they swept the Tulsa Oilers with an offensive explosion that left fans and opponents stunned.

Shorthanded Supremacy

The action kicked off with Jake McGrew firing the first shot just under three minutes into the game, setting the tone for what would become a masterclass in hockey dominance. Sloan Stanick followed up with a killer shorthanded goal that perfectly captured the Knight Monsters’ aggressive strategy, leaving Tulsa scrambling to keep up.

Goaltending Greatness

Jordan Papirny was the defensive wall that Tulsa couldn’t breach, delivering a performance that solidified the Knight Monsters’ control. Kevin Wall’s second shorthanded goal in the series was the exclamation point on a game that showcased pure athletic brilliance.

With Casey Bailey adding another goal to the mix, the Knight Monsters sealed a 5-2 victory that marks their fifth consecutive game scoring four or more goals. This isn’t just a win, it’s a declaration that Tahoe’s hockey squad is a force to be reckoned with.

Fans can catch the Knight Monsters’ next adventure on Wednesday, October 29, when they take on the Idaho Steelheads in Boise. For those craving home ice action, mark your calendars for November 20 when the Savannah Ghost Pirates roll into Tahoe Blue Event Center.

As an ECHL Affiliate of the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights and AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights, these guys are more than a local team, they’re a hockey powerhouse in the making. Ticket packages for the 2025-26 season are now available at www.knightmonstershockey.com.
