Utah Hockey Club Notes
Utah is still red hot after their 5-2 victory over Winnipeg on Monday night after securing a 4-0 win over the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night. Utah will be facing a rested Winnipeg team coming off of a three-game road trip.
Utah is without defender Sean Durzi, who is out with a shoulder injury, and forward Dylan Guenther, who is out with a lower-body injury. Both players are big losses to the team, but Utah is still finding ways to win games. Utah will be a challenge for the Jets, who are coming into Winnipeg with three straight wins over divisional opponents.
