Ontario’s weekend pivoted on a rivalry comeback, with Glenn Gawdin up to an 11-game point streak.

Overview

  • Erik Portillo made his first appearance since Nov. 12 and stopped all 19 shots for his third career shutout in a 3-0 win over Iowa at Toyota Arena.
  • Martin Chromiak scored twice and Andre Lee added his team-leading 15th goal, a power-play tally, as Ontario controlled the first two periods.
  • The Reign power play has goals in three straight games and the penalty kill has denied 18 consecutive opportunities.
  • One night earlier, Ontario topped Coachella Valley 3-2 with a third-period rally, sparked by Cole Guttman’s equalizer and capped by Kirill Kirsanov’s winner.
