Tonight's Matchup: The San Francisco Bulls (5-11-1-1) begin a five-game road trip when they take on the Utah Grizzlies (5-7-1-1), tonight, at Maverik Center. This is the third of seven meetings between these teams this season. The Grizzlies hold the edge in the season series, three points to two.
Two nights ago, the Bulls let a third period lead slip away, losing to the Bakersfield Condors, 5-2. Adrian Foster and Tyler Gron scored in the second frame to give San Francisco a 2-1 lead. Chris Crane, Dylan King, Brett Findlay, and Jordan Morrison had assists. The third period saw Bakersfield score three times in the span of 1:10. They added a fifth goal in the waning seconds on an empty net to finish off the win. The two California foes tied for shots, 27-27.
The Bulls new faces have quickly brought an added scoring punch to the lineup. Gron scored his team-high sixth goal of the year in the loss to Bakersfield. He already has four points (3g, 1a) in the two games since joining San Francisco. Foster has been getting in on the action as well, notching a point in each of his first two games with the club.
Defenseman King, known more for his defensive prowess, has shown more of a scoring touch of late. Three nights ago in Bakersfield he registered his first career two-point night. He now has three points (1g, 2a) over the last two contests.
Danick Paquette is having a strong season for the Grizzlies. He is third on the team in points (7), and is 11th in the league with 45 penalty minutes. In addition, he has three points (1g, 2a) in the two games against the Bulls this season.
San Francisco and Utah are tied for sixth place in the Western Conference with 12 points. They are one point ahead of the Las Vegas Wranglers in seventh place.
Tomorrow the Bulls are back in action when they wrap up this two-games series with the Grizzlies. The game starts at 6:05.
