Home Streak Ties Record

The Grizzlies 10-game unbeaten streak at Maverik Center is the longest since the team moved to Utah in 1995 and ties a record set by the Denver Grizzlies from December 26, 1994-February 8 1995. Ironically, this current Utah unbeaten streak started 19 years and two days after the Denver team's started.

3rd In League At Home

Wednesday, Utah will look to build on their 3rd best home record in the ECHL. Utah's 13-4-2-4 record at Maverik Center is behind only Evansville and Alaska in winning percentage. Utah has collected standings points in 19 of 23 home games this year.

Unbeaten Streak Ties Season High

At 4-0-1-0 in their last five games, the Grizzlies are unbeaten in five-straight games for the second time this month. They went 2-0-1-2 January 5-12.

Balanced Effort

It's been a balanced offensive effort this season for the Grizzlies as no player ranks in the top 33 in league scoring, but five players have tallied at least 20 points. David Vallorani leads the way for Utah with 29 points (15g-14a) in 38 games. MacQueen is second on the team in goals with 12 in just 20 games.

Dell Rolls In Goal

Aaron Dell (12-3-0-1), who has gone 6-1-0-1 in his last eight starts, has allowed two goals or less in 12 of his 16 appearances with Utah this season. He is tied for fourth in the league with a 2.10 goals-against average and is tied for sixth with a .921 save percentage.

Reloading

Utah added five players back to the lineup this past weekend with Mathieu Aubin and Channing Boe returning from injury; Jamie MacQueen and Teigan Zahn coming back from the AHL and Kris Hogg returning to the lineup as well.
