What’s an avalanche to a yeti? The Utah Hockey Club beat the Colorado Avalanche 6-3 on Sunday night. Utah looked shaky at the start, spending seemingly the entire first period in its own zone. But as the game went on, they found their footing and filled the net.

Guenther scored two goals and added an assist to lead Utah to a 6-3 preseason road win over the Colorado Avalanche Sunday at Ball Arena.

The Maccelli, Kerfoot, Crouse line was tested for the second consecutive game and accounted for six of Utah’s total 16 shots on goal. Maccelli and Crouse were in the top five for time on ice — 16:55 and 16:30, respectively. While they did not score, the pairing pushed the pace.

Just five months after the Arizona Coyotes were dissolved and the NHL gifted hockey to Salt Lake, the franchise hosted its first home preseason game against the Los Angeles Kings.

The house always wins. That’s the lesson Utah Hockey Club learned in its trip to Las Vegas on Friday night. An evenly matched first two periods made some wonder if the game would need overtime, until the Vegas Golden Knights took control in the third period to defeat Utah HC 5-2.

Delta Center now is the home to the Utah Hockey Club. The team opens its first training camp Thursday after 28 seasons in the Phoenix area as the Coyotes.

LAS VEGAS — So much for making history as the only NHL team to never lose a game. The Utah Hockey Club took its first loss in franchise history Friday with a 5-2 defeat in Las Vegas. Facing the Golden Knights on the road at T-Mobile Arena, the game was the first between the teams in what is likely to become a rivalry in the region.

The Utah Hockey Club will not be held liable for hearing loss incurred at its first-ever home game.
