THIRD PERIOD
20:00: OK, how many fights this period?
15:54: Gulls’ Tarnasky misses net on quality opportunity after behind-the-back backhanded pass from teammate behind net.
13:42: Trotman shot from point sails high and wide, the conclusions of some boardwork down low by the forwards.
10:27: Crescenzi has been a bit fired up all night. Finally he gets a piece of Montour in a brief exchange of friendlies.
10:27: PENALTIES. Roughing for all – Montour and Megna for San Diego and Crescenzi for Ontario.
8:16: A turnover in the neutral zone results in a clear breakaway for Megna, right out of the box, but Campbell makes the save.
7:59: SD PENALTY. Puck over glass delay of game for Roy.
7:40: Announced attendance here at Honda Center tonight is 10,214. Fun crowd tonight. They opened doors for free. Great idea in my opinion, good for young fans.
6:55: Amadio upended on near boards, gets the home crowd’s attention.
5:57: LoVerde’s attempt from right side goes high and wide as 7th Reign power play of the night expires.
5:45: Gulls’ Roy hops out of the box and the puck’s right on his stick. He’s joined for an odd-man rush but a few too many passes by San Diego keeps the score 4-1.
5:02: SD PENALTY. Shea Theodore for holding the stick on Patrick Bjorkstrand in Gulls’ D zone.
2:00: Campbell puts together a package of a few nice saves with San Diego peppering him.
0:00: Game over. Preseason over.

SECOND PERIOD
20:00: Reign starting with a power play, chasing 3-0 hole. Budaj still in, BTW.
18:04: ONT PP GOAL. 3-1. Justin Auger with one heck of a shift and it ends with him tapping in a rebound at the side of the net after some sustained zone time. Assists go to Lowry and Sharipzianov.
17:52: PENALTIES. Paul Bissonnette and Stu Bickel, registered veteran tough guys, drop gloves and each get 5. Pretty good bout from upstairs.
15:01: SD GOAL. 4-1. Stefan Noesen gets the gift of a Ondrej Kase shot that goes high off the glass and right to him crashing the left dot.
11:06: Some good news I suppose, Gulls with just two SOG so far this period.
9:59: Goalie swap for Ontario. Jack Campbell coming in as Budaj exits with seven saves on 11 shots.
9:59: SD PENALTY. One too many. Kevin Roy serving.
7:12: Penalties coming (Jeopardy music). Stu Bickel goes after Justin Gutierrez. This after everyone had picked a partner along boards. Bickel threw Gutierrez’s glove, was tied up with him for quite some time. They broke up for a second and then Bickel chased him down to fight at center ice.
7:12: PENALTIES. Brace yourself here. For Reign – Crescenzi 2-minute roughing, Gutierrez 2-min roughing. San Diego penalties – Stu Bickel gets 2-min instigating, 5-min fighting, 10-min misconduct, game misconduct and Andrew O’Brien gets 2-min roughing and 2-min for continuing altercation. Phew. As a result, Reign are on 5-min power play.
3:05: Lintuniemi misses Auger pass at blue line on power play and Antoine Laganiere races in on a near-breakaway. Lintuniemi backchecks to get a stick on it. Nice hustle.
0:26: Hensick from behind net sets up LoVerde inside right circle but Tokarski has it in his glove.
0:00: 4-1 after 40.

FIRST PERIOD
20:00: Warmups are underway … Peter Budaj will start in goal and is expected to split time with Jack Campbell. Injured D Zac Leslie will not play today, per coach Mike Stothers. Dustin Tokarski starting in net for San Diego.
19:59: The final preseason game – Kings or Reign, is upon us. Enjoy.
18:28: SD GOAL. 1-0. Nick Tarnasky streaks into left post and buries a nice cross-feed from Kevin Roy. Officially scoring saying assist wet to someone else ut me and Jason Lewis
17:08: Andrew O’Brien lays out Sean Backman along far boards and Joel Lowry mobs him. We have our first fight of the night.
17:08: PENALTIES. O’Brien, Lowry five each for fighting and Lowry gets a roughing, served by Gutierrez.
15:07: SD GOAL. 2-0.Kevin Roy zips a shot by Budaj from the left circle high as time just barely expires on power play. Not a great start here for Ontario.
12:59: PENALTIES: Gutierrez for roughing and Noesen a double-minor for roughing (Roy serving).
10:50: T.J. Hensick from bottom of left circle with a nice feed to LoVerde and top of right circle and he hits the post. Reign’s game starting to shape up.
8:15: Justin Auger with a heads-up read to intercept a pass at neutral ice but as he races in with puck his shot’s blocked by a defender.
5:45: SD GOAL. 3-0. Andy Welinski’s shot from the right point gets through Budaj’s pads. Budaj’s given up three goals on seven shots and rebounds have been an issue.
4:15: SD PENALTY. Ondrej Kase for roughing.
1:32: Uneventful Reign power play as first period is winding down.
0:00: Clock sounds and Andrew Crescenzi is clearly upset in corner going after a Gulls player.
0:00: SD PENALTY. Morley for unsportsmanlike, so Reign have an opportunity to start 2nd.
