Utah Grizzlies News Release
Michaud in Command
Utah goaltender Alfie Michaud currently leads the ECHL with seven wins. He currently has a six-game winning streak, which is also a season-high for wins in a row by an ECHL netminder. Michaud has 1.32 GAA and a save percentage of .953 during that span.
A Full 60 Minutes
Going into Saturday, the Grizzlies had fallen behind on the scoreboard in every game this year. However, the Grizzlies never trailed during their Saturday/Sunday series in Long Beach, outscoring the Ice Dogs 6-1 in the first two periods.
Grizzlies Welcome Aboard BYU Boy
The Grizzlies signed BYU alum Tamio Stehrenberger as an emergency backup goaltender for the weekend after Justin Eddy was placed on 7-Day Injured Reserve. Stehrenberger went 38-10-5 the past two seasons playing in Provo.
Another New Face
Friday, the Grizzlies were assigned forward Erkki Rajamaki by the St. Louis Blues. He spent last year in Worcester of the AHL posting nine points (5 goals, 4 assists) in 60 games. Prior to that, he played five professional seasons in his home country of Finland.
