Post Game: Grizzlies 5, Reign 3

Two points is two points. And we'll take it.

The Grizzlies did a good job of playing catchup after falling behind, then regaining the lead after allowing the game to be tied. When Utah pulled away with 2 quick goals in the 2nd, they seemed to have the game in hand. The 3rd period wasn't as slick as we're used to seeing with these boys, but they managed to hold on and secure the 5-3 win.

Hello, power play. After going 0/6 on Tuesday and 0/2 on Wednesday, Utah came back with some special teams magic. They went 3 for 5 on the power play in tonight's game with the PK earning itself another shorty goal. Though, the PK could have done a bit better job, but maybe we're just spoiled . . .

Nice shot by Crowder for his goal. In fact, nice job by Tim on the power play. He picked up an assist on the game winner as well.

All the usual suspects were shining tonight, but wanted to shout out to Carpentier for his TOI. He was on the ice for 4 of Utah's 5 goals, picking up an assist on the shorthanded one. Nice to have you back, Hugo.
