The Reign continue to roll, albeit in a less convincing fashion than previous weekends.
It was Bakersfield 3-0 on Friday, but the Reign roared back with four goals in 2:42 to complete a thrilling 5-4 comeback in their Southern California debut.
The following night, the Reign ground the Barracuda into chum with a relentless defensive effort, earning its third shutout in five games 3-0.
Some weekend player observations:
- Once again, Michael Mersch was a monster, a rare forward who is the coach's top choice on both the power play and the penalty kill.
