Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley Raises $25,400 at Game
ONTARIO, Calif. – The Ontario Reign, proud affiliate of the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings, raised $25,400 through fundraising efforts for the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley, including a game-worn specialty jersey auction following the team's 4-1 loss to the Las Vegas Wranglers on Saturday night.
Las Vegas accounted for all of the offense in the first two periods. Vince Bellissimo made it 1-0 in the first period on a wrap-around goal and Ned Lukacevic scored with a snap shot in the second while the Wranglers were on the power play.
The Reign’s Chaz Johnson caused a slight delay in the second period when he bloodied Dan Bertram’s nose in a fight, forcing the ice crew to perform some cleanup duty before play could continue.
Blake Gallagher extended the Wrangler’s lead to 3-0 at 4:14 of the third before Shawn Collymore spoiled the shutout. Collymore picked up a rebound and did a spin-o-rama move before he buried the puck in the empty side of the net. But the lead was too much to overcome, as Las Vegas won 4-1 after adding an empty-net goal.
Tonight’s three stars were:
1) LV – Ned Lukacevic
2) LV – Tyler Mosienko
3) ONT – Shawn Collymore
