Guenther's Goal Gives Shock and Awe | SLC Puck! Ep. 80

SLC Puck! ·

2025/02/09

Is it any coincidence that the Utah Hockey Club snapped a five-game losing streak after Dylan Guenther’s return from an injury. SLC Puck host Austin Facer doesn’t think so. Guenther provided multiple thrills in his first game back after missing the previous 12, but it was his last one, an electric game winner in overtime that sent Delta Center into a frenzy. But as Facer and other close observers of the game noticed, the sequence that set up Guenther’s goal was just as impressive and slick as the

The Utah Hockey Club fell in overtime to the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 on Wednesday. While the home team failed to secure two points in the standings, fans were treated not only to an appearance by future Hall of Famer Sidney Crosby, but a game winner in the bonus period by Sid The Kid. It may be noteworthy to mention that both Crosby and his longtime NHL counterpart, Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin, both scored goals in their first games played at Delta Center.That was the on-ice

The Crosby Conundrum | SLC Puck! Ep. 77

Local hockey fans are likely looking forward to seeing Sidney Crosby, one of the game's all-time greats, in town when the Utah Hockey Club hosts the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday. The issue that gives SLC Puck host Austin Facer pause though, is the fact that Crosby's name has been swirling in trade rumors lately. The Penguins have been struggling this season and as Crosby continues into the twilight of his career, he may be traded from the only NHL team he's played with to a Stanley Cup

Utah captain Clayton Keller took a puck to the face during the second period of Monday night’s game against Winnipeg. Despite the injury, Keller not only returned to the ice but also contributed a goal and an assist in Utah’s 5-2 victory over the Western Conference-leading Jets.Sporting a nasty cut above his eye, Keller has been playing with a noticeable edge.

Utah Hockey Club captain Clayton Keller seems to play his best against his hometown team, the St. Louis Blues. Saturday’s 4-2 win was no exception. Keller scored a goal and added three assists to have a hand in all four Utah goals against the Blues. Combined with three points by Logan Cooley, the duo lifted the Club to a victory that could have major playoff implications.Up next for the Club is a tough task. Utah will wrap up a 7-game homestand by hosting the division-leading Winnipeg Jets, anchored

The Utah Hockey Club dropped a 5-3 decision to the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night, but the story before the game was the bizarre injury suffered by Montreal forward Emil Heineman. Walking around in the area by the Salt Lake County Building on 500 South and 200 East, Heineman was reportedly struck by a city employee who didn’t see him in the crosswalk. Heineman was left injured and will be out 3-4 weeks.Despite the setback, Montreal rolled over a slumping Utah team, which may be forced to make

The Utah Hockey Club just can’t seem to catch a break. Just as its reported that some of its injured players may be working their way back onto the ice, the Club suffered a big loss, losing leading goal-scorer Dylan Guenther for an indefinite period of time.However, as goaltender Connor Ingram has shown — multiple times — adversity is nothing this team isn’t already familiar with. Still, SLC Puck host Austin Facer feels that time is of the essence. The playoff chase is beginning to really heat

The Utah Hockey Club fell to the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers 4-1 at the Delta Center on Wednesday night. Despite the loss, SLC Puck host Austin Facer thinks that Utah can learn a loss from the Panthers, mostly the importance of toughness when it comes to winning hockey games. Logan Cooley, the team's 20-year-old phenom has shown flashes of toughness on a nightly basis, but Austin would like to see him lean more into it.

Coming off of three straight 20-plus goal seasons, Utah Hockey Club forward Lawson Crouse had been off to a cold start in 2024-25. Coming into the Club's recent two-game road trip, Crouse had just four goals on the season. Perhaps responding to the scrutiny, Crouse found his stride in Utah's matchup against Calgary, finding the back of the net twice in a 5-3 comeback victory over the Flames. Not to be outdone, his linemate Matias Maccelli scored twice against Dallas on Saturday in a 3-2 overtime

After more than a month removed from game action, Utah Hockey Club fan favorite Liam O'Brien was activated for the game on Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers. With the team currently in a 5-game tailspin, a lineup change might be exactly what's needed to right the ship. SLC Puck! host Austin Facer wonders if benching one forward in favor of "Spicy Tuna" might give the Club a might needed jolt of energy.

The Utah Hockey Club has lost 8 of its last 10 at home and getting far more positive results on the road. Why? Is it possible the Delta Center doesn't have the home ice advantage fans thought possible prior to the season? Or is it more likely that the Utah Hockey Club is a bit too jazzed up to play in front of a home crowd? Does it come down to composure and managing emotions? After listening to head coach Andre Tourigny after Friday's loss to Colorado, SLC Puck Austin Facer thinks its a mindset

The sky isn’t quite falling for the Utah Hockey Club, but a shootout loss to Anaheim and a defeat in regulation to Dallas certainly didn’t help the team’s playoff chances. Hopefully, the Club can get back to winning ways with a big game against Colorado on Friday. SLC Puck! host Austin Facer is guessing this game might be the most expensive ticket yet — besides the opener against Chicago on Oct. 8.Also, it’s been reported that the team is looking to host an outdoor game sometime in the future

The Utah Hockey Club's 5-4 shootout loss to the Anaheim Ducks wasn't a complete disaster, but it may be costly down the stretch. By SLC Puck host Austin Facer's count, the team has now lost several winnable games outright or in overtime, keeping Utah from winning two critical points in the standings each time. Should the Club be in the hunt for a playoff birth, those points could be the difference between making the postseason or not.Also, Austin answers the SLC Puck hotline, answering one of the

It either was a stroke of genius, or perhaps it was just the work of Hollywood's greatest screenwriters. Either way, Utah Hockey Club owner Ryan Smith decided to give away 2,000 tickets -- presumably to many who had never seen a hockey game before -- and it couldn't have gone better. Fans "packed the barn" and were treated to a show, a 3-2 overtime win over the Vancouver Canucks, featuring goals by Clayton Keller, Dylan Guenther and Mikhail Sergachev.

With six straight road victories, this team is making its way back into the playoff hunt, only two points out of the last wildcard spot.

The Utah Hockey Club is playing well, with a 3-1-1 record over its last five games heading into Sunday's matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers. Two players in particular, forward Nick Schmaltz and defenseman Michael Kesselring, have been excellent. After a slow start to his goal scoring total, Schmaltz has caught fire with four goals in a three game stretch. Kesselring, to his own credit, has been stalwart on the blueline. He seems to live for the moment. In his 100th career game, he made history
