Karter McNarland and Sam Schoenfeld combined to set up the game-winning goal by Caleb Bentham with 5:34 remaining on the clock to secure a 4-3 win for the home team.
Noah Eyre, who was named second star behind Bentham, assisted on a pair of goals. His teammate Jack Blanchett also picked up an assist on the night. Victoria forward Olivier Picard was recognized as the third star.
Kings outshot the Grizzlies 37-31. Attendance was 777.
