Utah Hockey Club Notes:

After a hot start to the season that saw the Hockey Club win 3 games in a row, Utah has dropped 4 of their last 5 contests with the only win coming in overtime against the struggling Boston Bruins. Utah does get some good news though as Nick Bjugstad will return from injury and make his Utah HC debut. Kailer Yamamoto has been placed on waivers to clear a roster spot.

Los Angeles Kings Notes:

Darcy Keumper has been activated from IR and is a game-time decision for today’s game against Utah. LA bounced back on Thursday with a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks after their tough loss on Tuesday to Vegas. Warren Foegele led the charge for the Kings with 2 goals, while Alex Laferriere chipped in with 2 assists.
