Utah Hockey Club lost another home game. During the team's struggles, one player has stood out as a bright spot.

Blues need to keep pedal down, looking for elusive third straight win; defensemen providing offense; same skaters to play from Thursday, Binnington in goal

Utah has reported a sellout crowd of 11,131 for every home game during the team’s inaugural season. Because of partially obstructed views for some seats, full-view seat capacity for hockey games is lower than seating capacity for Utah Jazz games (18,206) and live concerts (13,898).

From Utah Hockey Club fans’ perspective, there was a lot to celebrate and a lot to question in their 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers on Thursday. The frustrations that have plagued them for some time returned again, dropping them to a 1-4-0 record in their current home stand.

The Utah Hockey Club face the New York Rangers in a non-conference matchup. The Utah Hockey Club are fifth in league play with 179 total penalties (averaging 4.2 per game).

Utah Hockey Club fell apart in the second period against the Montreal Canadiens, leaving the team to ask some tough questions of itself.

Heading into a Thursday night matchup, the New York Rangers are in a similar boat as the Utah Hockey Club: on the outside of the playoffs, looking in, hoping there’s still a chance for them. Both teams have 43 points. The Rangers are five points out of an NHL playoff spot, while Utah HC needs six more.

The Canadiens have been playing fine hockey of late and there's value in taking them to win straight up at plus money as they visit the Utah Hockey Club, who's missing leading scorer Dylan Guenther. It’s a battle of two teams on the fringes of playoff positioning when the Montreal Canadiens visit the Utah Hockey Club.
