Stockton, California - The Stockton Thunder defeated the Utah Grizzlies (2-4-1-1) 3-2 in a shootout Friday night at Stockton Arena.
Following the call-up of both Anaheim goaltenders earlier in the week, Joe Howe turned in Utah's best goaltending performance of the year to date in his debut as he stopped 31 of 33 shots through overtime and four of five in the shootout as the Grizzlies skilled shootout lineup was unable to score in five chances.
Utah built a 2-0 first period lead on goals from T.J. Syner and Marc Cantin. Mike Colavecchia picked up a turnover and fed T.J. Syner for his third goal of the year 4:31 into the first period. Utah made it 2-0 when Colavecchia drew a trip and Cantin scored immediately off of the face-off with 2:01 left in the period. Syner picked up an assist on the play along with rookie Alex Krushelnyski who scored his fourth point in five games with Utah.
Stockton tied the game with two quick goals on special teams late in the second period and the contest was tied moving to the third.
The Grizzlies killed a late penalty in the third to force overtime and then the shootout.
