CINCINNATI — The Utah Grizzlies picked up a pair of needed points in the standings with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Cincinnati Cyclones Tuesday night.

Greg Leeb scored in the overtime period to give the Grizz the win, which improved Utah's record to 35-33-6 for 76 points. That leaves the Grizzlies one point behind Houston and Chicago for the final playoff spot in the West with eight games left.

Along with his fifth game-winner, which came only 38 seconds into overtime, Leeb also scored in the second period. Jon Sim also notched a goal, while Mike Bales stopped 26 shots in goal.
