Storyline: Ontario overcame a three goal deficit and won in regulation by way of a four to three final on Sunday afternoon vs the Iowa Wild. The Reign finished the weekend taking three out of a possible four points and completed their season series vs the Wild going 2-1-0-1 in the process. After trailing three to nothing in the second period, Ontario was able to claw back with goals from Boko Imama (1-0-1), Kale Clague (1-0-1) and Austin Strand (1-0-1) to tie the game heading into the third. After a back and forth effort through the first three quarters of the frame, the Reign mounted several chances before Mikey Eyssimont (1-0-1) received the puck alone in the slot and beat Dereck Baribeau (4 GA, 28 SVS) on the blocker side via a wrist shot with less than three minutes remaining in regulation time. The goal was Eyssimont’s fourth of the season. In the victory, Reign captain Brett Sutter (0-1-1) skated in his 900th career pro contest (840 AHL, 60 NHL) and Matthew Villalta (3 GA, 30 SVS) earned his first AHL win.
