Oklahoma City Barons: OKC ends three-game losing streak with 2-1 win

The Barons led 1-0 on a third-period power-play goal by Taylor Hall, but Abbotsford’s Dustin Sylvester tied the game with just under four minutes left in a game that was being televised nationally in Canada.

That set the stage for Schultz — who took a pass from Jordan Eberle from near the faceoff circle — to zip a shot past Abbotsford goaltender Danny Taylor’s head in front of a sellout crowd, that included hundreds of Edmonton Oilers fans who traveled to watch their young star playing for the Barons.

Hall’s goal ended a nine-period scoring drought for the Barons, who were shut out a week ago at San Antonio and lost the first of the two games 4-0 to Abbotsford on Friday night.

With his seventh goal of the season, Schultz continues to lead the American Hockey League in scoring.

Oklahoma City (6-5-0-1) returns home to host the Toronto Marlies at 10:35 a.m. Tuesday in the annual Kids Field Trip game at the Cox Convention Center.
