Wichita, KS - Kevin Carr stopped all 31 shots and Ryan Walters netted a pair of goals to help Utah knock off Wichita on Friday night by the final of 4-0 at INTRUST Bank Arena.

The only goal of the first period came from Ryan Walters at 8:49. He curled around a pick and fired a shot over Ty Rimmer from the right circle to make it 1-0. Wichita hit two posts during the frame, including a late shot from Steven Iacobellis as Kevin Carr got caught out of the net.
After a scoreless second, the Grizzlies took control in the third. Mike Economos scored his fourth of the year on the power play at 6:14. Joey Raats netted a breakaway goal at 10:22 to make it 3-0. Less than a minute later, Walters tallied his second of the night to increase the lead to 4-0. Wichita couldn't solve Carr down the stretch and he earned the shutout victory.
