ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- Gleason Fournier scored the shootout winner as the Grand Rapids Griffins defeated the Abbotsford Heat 4-3 Friday in American Hockey League action. Fournier was the eighth Griffins shooter and had a chance to win the game after Petr Mrazek came out to stop Abbotsfords Chad Billins. Fournier beat Olivier Roy stick side to clinch the win for the visitors. Teeumu Pulkkinen scored twice, giving him a team-leading 23 goals and four in two games. Calle Jarnkrok had a goal and two assists. Andrej Nestrasil had two assists. Mrazek stopped 31 shots in the win. Max Reinhart had two goals for Abbotsford (33-17-6), who have now lost three straight. Sven Baertschi had a goal and an assist, while Roy made 34 saves in the losing effort. Baertschi opened the scoring on the power play when Ben Streets wrist shot from the point was redirected between Mrazeks legs at 6:11. Pulkkinen tied the game at 16:44. After taking a pass at the blue-line, he stepped into a slap shot from the top of the face-off circle to beat Roy far side for his team-leading 22nd of the year. The 22-year-old Finn gave the Griffins the lead at 3:49. Nick Jensens shot from the top of the circle was deflected by Pulkkinen, cruising through the slot. That was Jensens first professional point. Reinhart tied the game at 16:09, taking a pass from Brett Olson and wiring a wrist shot far side on Mrazek. Jarnkroks power-play goal gave the Griffins the lead heading into the second intermission. Nestrasil found Jarnkrok in the low slot and he beat Roy bar down with just 20 seconds to play. Grand Rapids thought they had doubled the lead eight minutes into the third, but the deflection in front was a high stick and was immediately waved off by referee Trevor Hanson. Reinhart tied the game with just under four minutes to go, redirecting a pass from Baertschi around Mrazeks left pad. Grand Rapids had the best scoring chance in overtime, but Ryan Sproul fired it off the crossbar midway through the extra frame and with 35 seconds to go, Cory Emmerton shot a one-timer from the slot right into Roys crest.

Burke will have the operation on Tuesday morning in Salt Lake City. Pins will be inserted to stabilize the point guards right index finger, which he fractured during a 106-74 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night. The Jazz did not announce a timetable for Burkes return, but he is expected to miss anywhere from eight to 12 weeks. "Its unfortunate that it would happen now in training camp," coach Tyrone Corbin said after Mondays practice. "He was learning a new game and the way to play it and he was making great strides. And now he wont have a chance to be in a game for a little while. But he can learn in different ways." Burke was penciled in as a starter after the Jazz acquired his rights from the Minnesota Timberwolves in a draft night trade. Burke spent two seasons at Michigan, leading Wolverines to the national championship game as a sophomore. He averaged 18.6 points, 6.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals while shooting 46.3 per cent from the field and 38.4 per cent from 3-point range in his final collegiate season before turning pro. Corbin said the Jazz will work closely with Burke to keep him from falling behind during his absence.dddddddddddd "Well have him watching," Corbin said. "Were going to miss him on the floor, but were going to do some different things with him to keep getting him up to speed." Veteran point guard John Lucas III likely will be the starter until Burke recovers. Lucas signed with the Jazz as a free agent during the off-season. Lucas has appeared in 174 games during five NBA seasons, making a pair of starts with the Chicago Bulls in the 2011-12 season. He has career averages of 5.1 points and 1.5 assists. Lucas doesnt feel extra pressure with his role suddenly changed from backup mentor to starter. "Im going to come in and do exactly what Ive been doing," Lucas said. "Getting everybody involved. Keep knocking down shots. Keep trying to get wins." Alec Burks, who ran the offence in limited minutes a season ago, could potentially slide over to the point to help out while Burke is sidelined. Beyond using Burks as an emergency point guard, the Jazz will look into trade options and signing potential free agents to shore up their backcourt depth. Currently, Scott Machado and Lester Hudson, who both joined the team in preseason camp, are the only other point guard options on the Jazz roster. wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap soccer jerseys cheap nhl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' '
