After a week of practice on home ice and two losses behind them, the Grizzlies were after a much needed victory in front of 10,000 fans. The crowd was definitely ready for a win during Pack the House night, and the boys wanted to deliver.Las Vegas started the scoring 2:34 into the game, then tallied 3 additional goals for a 4-0 lead before Kinasewich put Utah on the board to end the 1st at 4-1. O'Keefe was injured at 4:54 in the 2nd period and replaced by Erickson. 5 minutes later, The Wranglers tacked on another goal, 5-1. However, the Grizzlies were able to regroup after an energizing Rycroft shift adding three goals of their own to make it 5-4, narrowing the Wranglers' lead to one. Vegas responded by grabbing a quick goal with under a minute left in the 2nd, ending the period 6-4 in their favor.
The Grizzlies battled back tallying 28 SOG in the 3rd alone, but the Wranglers were first to light the lamp in the final period. Kinasewich found the back of the net for Utah for his 3rd hat trick of the year at 17:48 of the 3rd, but Vegas picked up an empty netter to seal the deal, 8-5.

What We Think Worked Well: Offense
5 goals, 10 assists, 55 SOG, a Kinasewich hat trick - need we say more?
What Could Have Worked Better: Defense
8 goals allowed, 37 SOG, -15 for the team overall - need we say more?
Who Made the Difference: Ryan Kinasewich
Both Tim Maxwell with his constant drive toward the offensive zone and Travis Rycroft with his energizing shifts made our list for difference maker. But we really can't deny the effect that Captain Kinasewich had on this game. Leading the team with 12 SOG and scoring 3 of the 5 Utah goals for his 3rd hat trick of the year, Snatch's star of the game performance was just what the Grizzlies needed to stay competitive in this offensive-minded showdown. Not to mention that he settled an ongoing bet regarding his defensive contribution between the staff here at UGB by slamming a Wrangler into the boards right in front of us. A great night for Ryan Kinasewich.
Stars of the Game:
