SALT LAKE CITY — After a bounceback win over the Calgary Flames, the Utah Hockey Club has its work cut out for it.
Set to leave on a four-game road trip, the Club will begin the trip with a pair of games against two of the NHL's toughest teams, the Vegas Golden Knights and the Winnipeg Jets. Both Vegas and Winnipeg are leading their respective divisions while boasting two of the most potent offenses in hockey.
While the Utah Hockey Club is away, the Utah Grizzlies of the minor league ECHL begin their season on Friday at the Maverik Center. Austin Facer contends that with the massive local interest in hockey, coupled with the high prices of attending an NHL game at Delta Center, the Grizzlies will enjoy larger-than-ever crowds in West Valley.
