Tahoe Responds with 3-1 Win Over Grizzlies in Penultimate Matchup
STATELINE, NV – The Tahoe Golden Monsters, proud ECHL Affiliate of the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights and the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights, defeated the Utah Grizzlies on Friday night 3-1.
 
 
In the first period, the Knight Monsters’ fourth line scored in their second straight game as Jake Durflinger found the back of the net off of assists from CJ Valerian and Ben Lindberg to make it 1-0 Knight Monsters after 20 minutes of play.  
 
 
In the middle period, Trent Swick scored his 19th of the year to make it 2-0 Tahoe, but Utah would get on the board thanks to a power-play goal from Reilly Connors, and the Knight Monsters would take a 2-1 lead into the final frame.
 
 
In the third, Jake McGrew scored the only goal of the period as he showed off his speed on a pretty play to give Tahoe a 3-1 lead, and an eventual victory.  
 
 
Jordan Papirny played lights out in net, as he stopped 26 of 27 Utah shots in the victory.
