Utah Grizzlies News Release


West Valley City, Utah - The San Francisco Bulls defeated the Utah Grizzlies 2-1 Friday night at Maverik Center before 4,923 fans.

Utah outshot the Bulls 32-19 in the game and drew seven of nine power-plays, but were unable to get a second goal.

"We just didn't do the job," said Head Coach/General Manager Tim Branham. "We have to find a way to put the puck in the net, get more traffic, go to the dirty areas. We worked the puck around good. That's not good enough, especially with the lineup we have."

Utah took a 1-0 lead 8:28 into the first period as Danick Paquette led a rush up ice and Norm Ezekiel hammered in a puck off of a Kris Hogg attempt. After the goal, 795 bears were thrown onto the Maverik Center ice in the team's Teddy Bear Toss. The bears will be donated to children in need during the holidays.

The Bulls tied things up late in the first and took a 2-1 lead 8:24 into the third period on a four- on-three power-play goal.

Danick Paquette was given a game misconduct and a five-minute major for kneeing in the second period. "I am physical, not dirty," said Paquette.

Utah outshot the Bulls 19-7 after San Francisco took the lead, but they were unable to tie.
