Utah Grizzlies News Release


The Situation

The Grizzlies went 2-1 last week taking two-straight games from the Phoenix RoadRunners Thursday and Saturday at US Airways Center. Utah is currently 29-22-0-5 and sits in fifth place in the ECHL's National Conference. If the playoffs started today, Utah would open up with the Fresno Falcons in a best-of-seven series.

We'll Leave The Light On For Ya

Saturday, the Grizzlies tied an all-time team record as they ran their road unbeaten streak to eight. Utah has won seven-straight games on the road and their all-time team high for consecutive road wins is also eight. Both previous eight-game streaks stretched from January 3-January 28 of 1995 when the team was based in Denver.

Special Teams

The Grizzlies have outscored their opposition 5-1 in the last three games on special teams; tallying four power-play goals and a penalty-shot while only allowing one power-play goal. Utah is ten for their last eleven on the penalty-kill, including eight for their last eight.

What Injury?

Rookie Rob Sirianni returned to the Utah lineup this past week after missing 22-straight games injured and tallied three goals and two assists in three games. Including time before his injury, Sirianni has seven goals and seven assists in his last ten games.
