Salmon Kings 5, Reign 2, Chavira scores.

Itan Chavira fans, rejoice: The Phillips Ranch resident scored his first professional goal on a power play in the first period of the Reign’s 5-2 loss to the Victoria Salmon Kings on Saturday night.

The bad news: the loss means the Reign get swept by the ECHL’s hottest team, winners of 15 straight, and head to Phoenix on Wednesday riding a four-game losing streak of their own.

More details in tomorrow’s editions, along with a phat pheature detailing the team’s survival methods in a crappy economy.
