IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Game one: LW Andrew Carroll tipped in a shot from D Erik Burgdoerfer 4:59 into the third period, and it held up as the Condors blanked Utah, 1-0. G Laurent Brossoit, who had eight shutouts in the regular season tying an ECHL single-season record, began his professional postseason career with a 26-save shutout.

Game two: C Gary Steffes got the Condors on the board on the first shift of the game, scooping up a puck in the left-wing circle and snapping it over the shoulder of G Aaron Dell. However, the Condors could not convert on five power plays in the game, and Utah tallied in each of the final two periods en route to a 2-1 win. D Teigan Zahn and C Michael Pelech had the goals for the Grizzlies as Dell earned his first postseason win for Utah with a 24 save performance.
