Kyle Keyser stopped all 29 shots he faced and earned his sixth career shutout.
Utah had a lot of pressure early in the game. The Grizzlies outscored the Thunder 13-8 in the first inning, but the game went into the break goalless.
In the second, Luke Manning broke the ice with his first of the season. Utah caused a turnover in the neutral zone and started an odd man opportunity that went the other way. Manning redirected a Reed Lebster shot that caught Matt Davis off guard and made it 1-0.
The Grizzlies made it 2-0 late in the frame with a power play goal. Spencer Blackwell was sent away for a boarding call at 6:15 p.m. Neil Shea notched his fourth of the year at 19:19, catching a pass in the left circle and beating Davis to the glove side.
Wichita couldn’t get much going in the third period. Keyser stopped all seven shots he faced. Utah’s defense choked in the final twenty minutes and kept the Thunder offense off the board.
The shutout marked the first time this season the Thunder were held without a goal. Noah Beck and Tyrone Bronte led the way with four shots each.
Wichita went 0-for-3 on the power play. Utah went 1-for-3 on the man advantage.
