No one said that winning eight in a row was going to be easy.
The Tahoe Knight Monsters were pushed to the limit on Wednesday night in Utah, but ultimately prevailed 7-6 in overtime. They weathered two furious Grizzlies comebacks and Brennan Kapcheck scored the game-winner in the extra frame.
The first period played out like the majority of the previous three games against Utah, with Tahoe scoring four goals. Jake McGrew hit the back of the net twice, while Sloan Stanick and Jett Jones also struck to make it 4-0 after 20 minutes.
Then the second period happened.
