The second conference game of the year went much like the first one of the year as the Oilers hosted Saginaw Heritage at the I.C.E. Arena on December 14th.
Mt. Pleasant's trend of giving up early goals continued as Heritage had a 2-0 lead before much of the crowd had a chance to get settle in.
The Oilers fought back and scored to cut the lead in half on a goal from Junior Dan Pulver with the lone assist going to Junior nick Coscarelly.
Heritage wasn't done though and for the second game in a row Sophomore goalie Adam Salisbury was chased from the game as Heritage went in the locker room after 1 up 5-1.
Mt. Pleasant opened the scoring in the second with an unassisted goal from Pulver, unfortunately Freshman goalie Nick Burkholder didn't fair any better and Heritage added 3 more tallies.
Mt. pleasant never quit and fought valiantly in the 3rd and even though they weren't able to get anything past Heritage's goalie, they played the best period of defensive hockey on the season and did not allow Heritage to score anymore.
The Oilers fall to 1-4 and will next host the Mid Michigan Storm on the evening of the 17th.
