Grumet-Morris allowed one goal on seven shots.
Rampage Heroes
- Penalty Kill: The Oklahoma City Barons have the best home powerplay in the AHL, with San Antonio having the second best road penalty kill. The Barons only managed to score one powerplay goal on six opportunities.
- Jon Sim: Scored San Antonio’s only goal and led the game with eight shots./
Rampage Zeroes
- Powerplay: Oklahoma City is 29th in home penalty killing, but you couldn’t tell from the way the Rampage played. The Barons killed all five San Antonio powerplay chances, and made it look easy.
- Alexander Petrovic: Minus-two and given dual game misconducts at the end, one for “physical abuse of officials”. With the defensive depth already thin thanks to injuries to John Lee and Tyson Strachan, a suspension is the last thing the team needs.
Rampage get another shot against the Barons tonight at 8:00 pm EST.
