Players To Watch:

Utah Hockey Club

Clayton Keller is quietly having a very good season for the Hockey Club. The 26-year-old center leads Utah in scoring with 18 goals and 39 assists for 57 points. The Chesterfield, Missouri native is on pace for 87 points, which would be a career-high eclipsing the 86 points he scored in the 2022-23 season.

Carolina Hurricanes

Newcomers Taylor Hall and Mikko Rantanen are still adjusting to their new team. Hall has one assist in five games for Carolina, while Rantanen has a goal and an assist in six games for the Hurricanes. There’s still plenty of time to find their footing and adjust to the Canes style of play.
