Idaho Steelheads News Release
BOISE, Idaho ¾ The Idaho Steelheads (12-8-1-1) take on the Grizzlies (8-10-1-1) in Utah tonight, for the fourth game in seven days against their Western neighbors. Game time is 7:05 p.m. MT and all the action can be heard on 1350 KTIK The Ticket with Doug Plagens behind the mic.
Idaho went 2-1 against Utah in last week's three-game series at Qwest Arena. In the only other contest between these two teams this year, Idaho opened its 2008-09 season against Utah on home ice losing 3-2 in a shootout.
Idaho currently ranks third in the National Conference, West Division, while Utah ranks fifth.

ALASKA-BOUND The Steelheads go north later this week for a three-game stint - Friday, Saturday and Sunday - in Anchorage against arch-rival Alaska (14-7-0-1).
