Meisener Blanks Steelheads in Pre-Season Finale
October 12, 2013 - ECHL (ECHL)
Idaho Steelheads News Release
Boise, ID - Ben Meisner came up with saves on each of Idaho's 31 shots Saturday night as the Utah Grizzlies defeated the Steelheads, 2-0, in front of 4,294 fans at CenturyLink Arena on "Season-Ticket Holders Only Night."
Tyler Hinds and Kris Hogg tallied goals for Utah to spoil an otherwise-strong effort from Idaho goaltender Pat Nagle, who stopped 21 of 23 shots between the pipes for the Steelheads.
Idaho's best shot to change the outcome came late in the second period with Idaho trailing 1-0 when a David deKastrozza shot from the slot just went over the crossbar with Meisner out of position.
The game featured 15 minor penalties, 14 combined power plays and a lot of testy moments as players from both sides took issue with actions of others.
The Steelheads conclude the pre-season with one win and one loss. Idaho and Utah will meet again on Friday, October 18, in the regular-season opener for both teams at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, UT. Idaho plays its first home game on Wednesday, October 23, at CenturyLink Arena against the San Francisco Bulls.
