Ontario Reign News Release
ONTARIO, Calif. - The Ontario Reign (39-14-3-2), defending Pacific Division Champions and proud affiliate of the NHL's 2012 Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings, topped the Colorado Eagles (27-25-2-3) 4-2 on Friday night before a crowd of 6,693 at Citizens Business Bank Arena.
The Reign were first on the board at 3:35 with D.J. King's third tally of the season. Brady Calla earned his first point of the game with the lone assist as he found King at the corner of the net where he shoveled it in. Just as the Reign killed their first penalty of the night, Michael Forney answered for the Eagles, with help from Matt Strueby, to tie the game 1-1.
Mario Lamoureux took the league lead in rookie points with a power-play goal at 16:48. Kyle Kraemer deked his way into the Eagles zone and sent a backhand pass across to Lamoureux who wristed it past Adam Brown into an open cage. Just 90 seconds later the Eagles knotted it up again with a carbon copy of the Reign's goal scoring one behind Chris Carrozzi's open side. Kyle Ostrow scored the equalizer for the Eagles. Ontario started the second period with a quick goal just 23 seconds in. Kraemer beat the Eagles defense for a breakaway he backhanded past Brown. Derek Couture and Cameron Burt assisted the game-winning goal for the Reign.
Branden Parkhouse and King set up Brady Calla for the Reign's fourth marker of the night. In his debut game, Parkhouse played the puck behind the Eagles net and sent it out to King waiting at the edge of the trapezoid. King moved the puck to an incoming Calla who fired it past Brown. Carrozzi extended his unbeaten streak to five games stopping 24 of 26 shots; Brown took the loss with 22 saves on 26 shots.
