He played two games for the Chicago Wolves in the AHL and 37 games for the Oilers. As Tulsa’s number one goalie, Junca went 16-16-5 with a 0.901 save percentage. He played four games in the ECHL Playoffs, losing to the Kansas City Mavericks in a sweep; he had a 0.915 save percentage against Kansas City.
