The Idaho Steelheads’ fans certainly got their money’s worth at CenturyLink Arena on Wednesday night as Idaho outlasted the Utah Grizzlies 8-5 in ECHL hockey action.

The Steelheads responded to a 4-1 first-period deficit with four second-period goals — and eight consecutive goals. Idaho jumped on Utah’s mistakes, scoring four goals on the power play.

Rob Linsmayer had a two-goal night and Kyle Jean added two goals his own and two assists for the Steelheads’ fourth four-point effort of the season.
