 | | The Utah Grizzlies and Alaska Aces are two of the ECHL's most penalized teams, so when the Grizzlies begin their first postseason since 2003 tonight at 9:15 MDT in Anchorage, "It's definitely a special-teams game," according to Grizzlies' coach Jason Christie. |
 | | Alaska was 53-12-7 to win the ECHL's Brabham Cup for regular-season supremacy, and Utah finished 36-30-6, fourth in the very tough ECHL West which also contains Alaska, league runner-up Las Vegas and the overall eighth-place, 43-21-8 (finished) Idaho. |
 | | Alaska, second-winningest team in ECHL single-season history, is the league's No. 5 team in penalty minutes (1,786), while Utah has the seventh-most penalty minutes (1,712). |
