Utah Grizzlies: Fall to Steelheads on road

BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho Steelheads (20-5-0-2) defeated the Utah Grizzlies 5-1 Wednesday night at Quest Arena.

Idaho started the scoring with a power-play goal 1:20 into the first period and never looked back as Utah had penalty problems early and often. The

Steelheads made it 2-0 on their fourth power-play with 2:12 left in the first period after Utah and goaltender Mitch O'Keefe killed power-plays two and three to keep the game 1-0 until late in the first.

AJ Perry stopped the bleeding for Utah with 9:30 left in the game on his ninth goal of the year.

The Grizzlies return home Friday and Saturday when they will welcome Bakersfield to the E-Center with 7 p.m. face off times.
