DES MOINES, Iowa – Three-point nights by Riley Barber (1-2—3), Taro Hirose (2-1—3) and Joe Hicketts (0-3—3) spearheaded the Grand Rapids Griffins’ 5-2 win over the Iowa Wild on Friday at the Wells Fargo Arena, their fourth consecutive victory on the road.
Now 8-3-2-0 on the season, the Griffins have earned points in all six outings during March (4-0-2-0) and 10 of their last 11 contests overall (8-1-2-0).
The Griffins scored the lone goal of the opening period just 10 seconds into the game’s first power play, as Dominic Turgeon popped Hunter Jones’ water bottle with a wrist shot from the top of the left circle at 9:26.
