The Utah Grizzlies had clawed their way back to .500 after losing the first four games of the season before a terrible third period led to an 8-3 loss to the Manchester Monarchs on Friday night at the Maverik Center.
With the game tied at 3, five different Monarchs scored in the final 20 minutes of the game, undoing the work Utah had put in to rally from an early 2-0 deficit in the first period.
Turning Point • A high sticking penalty against Grizzlies’ forward Greger Hanson proved disastrous early in the third period.
