![]() After a 4-point performance on opening night, the reigning back-to-back MVP picked up assists on both of Samuel Fagemo’s goals Sunday and a helper on Rasmus Kupari’s power play goal Tuesday, before securing the first assist on Alan Quine’s game-winner Friday night in San Diego. Through the first four games of the season he’s leading the team with eight points after posting a goal and three assists on Opening Night, adding a pair of helpers on Sunday and picking up his sixth and seventh assists in two consecutive wins for Ontario on Tuesday and Friday. YOU CAN’T STOP THE CAPTAIN: Nothing has changed to start the season for new Reign captain TJ Tynan. An insurance tally by Alan Quine at 11:13 of the third ended up being the game-winning strike. After the game was scoreless for the first 43 minutes, Aidan Dudas broke the ice with his second goal of the season. LAST TIME OUT: Led by goaltender Pheonix Copley, who made 44 saves in an outstanding effort, the Ontario Reign spoiled the home opener for the San Diego Gulls and earned a victory in the first game of the 2022-23 SoCal Series by a 2-1 final score on Friday night at Pechanga Arena. San Diego’s Rocco Grimaldi had his team’s only goal in the loss to Ontario Friday while recording a game-high 11 shots on net. The Reign opened the new year by posting two wins from three games at home last week with defeats of Abbotsford and Henderson along with a tight 3-2 loss to Bakersfield. Saturday’s game marks Ontario’s fourth home outing in its first five games to begin 2022-23. WHAT TO WATCH FOR: While both teams came into the weekend averaging five or more goals per game, they played a low-scoring, defensive contest highlighted by goaltending to open the series on Friday. Ontario picked up where they left off last season, a year where they dominated play against their SoCal rivals with a 9-3-0 record in 12 contests during the regular season before securing a sweep in the opening round of the postseason. The Reign earned two points from the first game of the weekend in San Diego with a 2-1 win over the Gulls on the road at Pechanga Arena.
