Kinasewich has missed nine-straight games and hasn't played since Saturday, November 8 versus Ontario when he sustained an injury. The fourth-year Utah forward tallied three goals and nine assists in the Grizzlies first nine games this year.
Kinasewich is the third-leading scorer in the 15-year history of the Grizzlies organization with 94 goals and 122 assists for 216 points in 157 games.
The Utah Grizzlies, of the ECHL, celebrate their 15th anniversary season in 2008-2009. Owned and operated by the Elmore Sports Group, the Grizzlies enter their second season and sixth overall as an affiliate of the New York Islanders.

The Grizzlies play all home games at the E-Center of West Valley City, which hosted hockey during the 2002 Winter Olympics.
