Las Vegas, Nevada- The Utah Grizzlies cruised to their seventh straight win on the strength of five goals and solid goaltending, defeating the Las Vegas Wranglers 5-0.
Utah got on the scoreboard early in the first period when Ryan Kinasewich found Trevor Baker at the 22 second mark to take a 1-0 lead. Then Baker and Kinasewich hooked up with Louis Dumont to double the lead just 2:16 into the period.
In the second period, Kinasewich picked up his 27th goal of the season on the power play just over two minutes in, and goaltender Alfie Michaud turned aside all 9 shots by the Wranglers to keep them off the scoreboard going into the second intermission.
