Reign update: Zatkoff up, Cook down.

Jeff Zatkoff is in uniform and just left the ice after taking part in pregame warmups for the Reign, who drop the puck at 7 p.m. against the Bakersfield Condors at CBBA. That’s good news for the Reign, who didn’t know how long they would be without their No. 1 goaltender.

It’s not clear yet if he will start, though; John Murray played very well in the Reign’s last outing, making 42 saves on 44 shots in a 4-2 win in Stockton on Wednesday.

Reign: Zatkoff ‘doubtful’ for tomorrow.

Ontario Reign goaltender Jeff Zatkoff, still recovering from a groin injury sustained last Friday in Fresno, pronounced himself “doubtful” for tomorrow’s game in Stockton. John Murray is the probable starter and Dennis Cook suited up in practice Tuesday. Cook is the former Long Beach Ice Dogs emergency backup who was in uniform with the Reign during the preseason, before Zatkoff and Kellen Briggs arrived.

More details in Wednesday morning’s editions of the Sun and Bulletin.
