West Valley City, Utah - The Ontario Reign came back to beat the Utah Grizzlies 6-4 Saturday night at Maverik Center before 6,190 fans.

Utah jumped up 1-0 15:42 into the first period as Utah held the puck in and John Armstrong (4) fired the puck off of Ontario goaltender Chris Carrozzi and in. The Reign tied the contest 57 seconds later.

The Grizzlies took a 2-1 lead to the first intermission after Kory Falite redirected home a Paul McIlveen centering attempt with 17.1 seconds left in the frame. Utah made it 3-1, just 27 seconds into the second period on a Ryan Turek slapshot.

Tied at 3 entering the third period, Utah took a 4-3 lead on a Mitch Wahl (11) power-play goal 7:34 into the frame. The Reign responded with three-straight to finish the game.

The game took a bizarre turn during warm-ups as Ontario began firing pucks into the Utah end. Each team had three players given game misconducts as some minor skirmishes ensued as the team's lined up at center ice. As a result, each team skated with just 13 skaters for the evening.

Utah hosts Bakersfield Wednesday at 7 p.m. for a Wild $2 Wednesday with $2 Hot Dogs, Fries, Soft Drinks and Draft Beers. In addition, students who present ID, will receive $5 lower bowl tickets at the arena box office.
