TONIGHT:? The Ontario Reign (2-1) and Colorado Eagles (1-2) play the fourth game of their best-of-seven Pacific Division Semifinals matchup, and the second of three held in Colorado. Thanks to the series-opening split at Citizens Business Bank Arena, all three games slated to be played at the Budweiser Events Center will be held.??
OLKINUORA PICKS UP FIRST POST-SEASON WIN:? Goaltender Jussi Olkinura's 24 saves over the Eagles on Sunday gave him his first postseason victory in a Reign uniform; he is already the club's all-time wins leader in the regular season with 41, and also holds the team's single-season wins record with 27.??
REGISTER TIED FOR BLUELINER GOAL LEAD:? Matt Register's goal on Sunday moved the defenseman into a tie with Allen's Konrad Abeltshauser and Reading's Jordan Heywood for first among ECHL blueliners with two goals.
??POWER-PLAY SUPER-CHARGED IN GAME 3:? After failing to capitalize on its first eight power-play chances in the series, Ontario exploded four a club-record five goals on the man advantage in Game 3. That performance has vaulted the Reign to the second-best power-play unit in the Kelly Cup Playoffs, behind only the Quad City Mallards.
