Utah Grizzlies News Release


Update

The Grizzlies have finally returned home from their eight-game, 15-day, six-city road trip in which they won two of their final three games to run their record to 23-22-6-9. Utah remains seated in a playoff position with less than a month to go in the regular season.

Hennigar Just Keeps Getting Hotter

Rob Hennigar led Utah and the ECHL on their just completed road trip with six goals and eight assists in eight games. He completed the excursion with one goal and three assists Sunday in Phoenix and had five total multiple-point games. In total this year, the Islanders prospect has multiple-points in 16 of his 30 games with the Grizzlies.

Verbeek Adds To His Career-Highs

With two goals and four assists this past week, veteran Tim Verbeek continued to add to his career-high season goal and point total with now 26 goals and 45 points. The ninth-year pro has also tied a season-high with a five-game scoring streak entering this week.

Wooddisse For Three

Defenseman Tyler Wooddisse scored his first three goals in a Utah uniform Sunday in Phoenix for his first pro hat trick. In total, Wooddisse had five points in four games last week.

Plus Players

Rob Hennigar is tied for the ECHL lead among rookies with a plus-19 entering the week. Evan Stoflet is second among ECHL defensemen with a plus-18.

Getting To Know "The Streets Of Bakersfield"

The Grizzlies, who made their first visit to Bakersfield Wednesday, still go back to Rabobank Arena for four games this regular season. The Grizzlies will not only play this weekend in Bakersfield, but the following Wednesday (March 18) and Friday (March 20).

Done With Idaho? Not So Fast

The Grizzlies will complete their regular season series with the Idaho Steelheads with games 14 and 15 against their closest regional rival Wednesday and Sunday at the E-Center. However as it stands right now, the Grizzlies and Steelheads would meet in a best-of-seven series to start the ECHL's Kelly Cup Playoffs. After a 4-1 win in Idaho Wednesday, February 25, the Grizzlies look to start their first winning streak of the year against the Steelheads this week.
