And Utah completes its sweep of the Wranglers.While we know the boys have it in them, we weren't expecting this, particularly with the slow start the Grizzlies had in the 1st. But Utah picked things up and by the 2nd period, the match was looking a lot more like Wednesday's game.
The PK was looking sharp once again, killing all 5 short-handed situations.
Matt Clarke was awarded a goal after being smacked down in front of an empty net. It seemed a bit odd to us, but apparently it's standard to award a goal if a player is hauled down on an uncontested breakaway in front of an empty net. Hey, we're not going to complain.
Andrew Engelage was on his game tonight, stopping 38 of 39, with the one goal allowed a serious beauty of a slapper through traffic from the point. Any other chances Vegas had were stopped short by the 6'5" goalie, whose save percentage now sits at 0.923. Awesome job.
Victoria tomorrow night at 7:05pm.
