Utah Hockey Club News & Notes:

Utah will finish the season on the road as they face off against the Predators and Blues to round out their season. In the first year of the franchise, under new ownership, Utah has seen additions to the roster and a season where they pursued the playoffs til April. Things are looking upward in Utah.

Dallas Stars News & Notes:

Head Coach Pete DeBoer mentioned that the team is dealing with a flu bug, and they are anticipating some game-time roster decisions. Dallas is hoping that the recent four game losing streak before heading into the playoffs is not foreshadowing of how their first round matchup against the Avalanche will be.
