WEST VALLEY CITY, UTAH - The Utah Grizzlies (9-9-0-1) will begin a seven-game road trip tomorrow night against the Chicago Wolves. The journey will cover 9,647 miles and keep the Grizzlies on foreign soil for 14 days.
Utah completed an eight-game home stand on Wednesday night with a 2-1 overtime win versus Philadelphia. The Grizzlies wound up the home swing with nine points in their last five games (4-0-0-1).
The Grizzlies have several players that caught fire offensively during the past two weeks. Jon Sim has vaulted to the top five in the American Hockey League (AHL) in scoring with five goals and 16 assists. In his last five games, he has piled up nine points (2-7-9).
