Barons Sweep Rampage To Advance In Playoffs

The Oklahoma City Barons downed the San Antonio Rampage 2-1 in overtime in Game 3 of their series tonight to sweep the Rampage and advance to the next round of the American Hockey League's Calder cup playoffs.

Rookie forward Jujhar Khaira scored the game-winner at 5:01 of the overtime session. Goaltender Richard Bachman stopped 35 of the 36 shots he faced for his second straight win between the pipes. The overtime win is the second straight for Oklahoma City in the series against the Rampage. Oklahoma City won Game 2 in overtime last Saturday.
