The streak is over.
By losing 2-0 to the Alaska Aces on Friday night, the Reign failed to gain a point in the standings for the first time since Feb. 14, a span of 10 games. They also failed to take advantage of the Utah Grizzlies' 5-2 victory over the Stockton Thunder, which would have allowed the Reign to get out of the Pacific Division cellar with a victory.
The Reign (26-26-3-6) are a point behind Stockton (27-24-2-6) and tied with Utah (27-25-2-5) at 61 points in the standings. By virtue of the Grizzlies' better winning percentage (.517 to .500), they would get the National Conference's final playoff berth if the season ended today. |
