Ouch.
The Reign (7-8-0) were outshot 51-18 by a Victoria Salmon Kings squad (3-10-0) clearly changed since getting swept out of Citizens Business Bank Arena last week. The line of Andy Brandt, Scott Howes and Adam Taylor accounted for three of the four goals on Curtis Darling, who made 47 saves — often enough to win two games for the Reign.
Not too many Reign highlights in this one; they won’t play again until Wednesday in Bakersfield.
