Storyline: Despite 31 saves from Erik Portillo to keep them in the game, the Ontario Reign (16-8-0-1) suffered their first shootout loss of the season to the San Diego Gulls (9-16-1-2) by a 4-3 score on Friday night at Pechanga Arena.

Ontario never trailed in the contest, but couldn’t hold any of their three one-goal leads and came up empty in four rounds during the skill session. Francesco Pinelli scored twice for the Reign during the first period, while Arthur Kaliyev added a power play goal in the middle frame in a losing effort.
