Grizzlies win.Finally. This is the team that we'd gotten use to seeing. The discipline that Colley talked about during his pregame interview is exactly what we feel had been missing. But when the Grizzlies put their heads down and focus on playing smart hockey instead of the calls being made, you end up with a 3-0 game.
While we're glad to see Utah's chemistry re-emerging, we're not as happy about the 2nd period slump: 22-11 SOG in favor of Ontario. Man . . .
But that just goes to show the incredible game Engelage had tonight with his first shutout of the season. Nicely done. There really can't be enough said for his performance in the last two games. 31 saves in this one for the shutout - he earned every bit of it.
Also, there was more love for Carpentier on the scoring side of things. He helped Utah go 1/3 on the power play, which is a stat we really like to see. Thumbs up.
Last game of the Ontario series Monday.
