Breakout Game For Grizzlies

After collecting a point in a shootout loss Friday, the Grizzlies forwards and defensemen played their most complete game of the year Saturday in a 4-3 shootout win over Ontario. They held the Reign to a season-low 18 shots on goal, including only three shots on goal in the second period. Outshooting Ontario 27-18 gave Utah their biggest shot differential of the year. The power-play scored a goal for the eight-straight game and the penalty-kill went 6-6, including kills late in the third period and late in overtime to force the shootout.

Scoring First

The Grizzlies scored the first goal in both games last weekend and are now 2-0-1-1 when scoring first this year. Friday, T.J. Syner scored Utah's first goal for the third time in a game this year.

Ducks Goaltenders Called-Up

Howe, a second year pro from Colorado College, who went 10-3-4 last year with Cincinnati of the ECHL; turned in the Grizzlies best goaltending performance of the year by stopping 29 of 31 in the shootout loss to Stockton Friday. After struggling until late, Brandon Maxwell stopped two in overtime and all four in the shootout as the Grizzlies earned the 4-3 shootout win in Ontario Saturday.
