Hockey fans in Rancho Cucamonga have a busy stretch ahead just down the road.

 

The Ontario Reign, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings, opened a five-game homestand Saturday night at Toyota Arena in Ontario.

 

The opponent was the Abbotsford Canucks, with the puck scheduled to drop at 6 p.m.

 

The game was not final when this story was published.

 

Where the Reign stand

 

Ontario came into the night with a record of 6-7-1-0 after a week off, according to LA Kings Insider.

 

Abbotsford arrived at 9-3-0-2, with 20 points and a spot near the top of the Pacific Division.

 

The Reign have been a better road team than home team so far, going 5-3-0 away from Ontario but just 1-4-1 at Toyota Arena.

 

That makes the next nine days a chance to change the story in front of the home crowd.

 

A familiar opponent

 

Saturday was the third of four meetings between the Reign and Canucks in 13 days.

 

The teams split two games in British Columbia last weekend.

 

Abbotsford won the first game 2-1 on November 6.

 

Ontario answered the next night with a 3-0 shutout, ending its own six-game losing streak and the Canucks' eight-game winning streak.

 

Goaltender Carter George stopped all 29 shots he faced in that win.

 

Koehn Ziemmer, Francesco Pinelli and Aatu Jämsen scored for the Reign, with Pinelli converting a penalty shot.

 

Players to watch

 

Forward Martin Chromiak, back from a stint with the Kings that included his NHL debut, was expected to return to the Ontario lineup Saturday.

 

He leads the club with six goals in nine games.

 

Jämsen has four goals in his last six games.

 

Ontario's penalty kill has also been sharp, allowing one goal on 16 chances over the last five games.

 

The homestand schedule

 

The Reign's schedule lists four more home games after Saturday.

 

Sunday, November 15: Colorado Eagles, 5 p.m.

 

Wednesday, November 18: Abbotsford Canucks, 7 p.m.

 

Saturday, November 21: Coachella Valley Firebirds, 6 p.m.

 

Sunday, November 22: Henderson Silver Knights, 3 p.m.

 

After that, the team heads back on the road, starting November 24 in San Diego.

 

If you go

 

All five games are at Toyota Arena in Ontario, a short drive south of Rancho Cucamonga.

 

The arena's event calendar directs fans to AXS for Reign tickets.

 

Game times can change, so check the team's schedule before heading out.
