SALT LAKE CITY — Is it any coincidence that Utah Hockey Club forward Clayton Keller turned in a two-goal performance against the Minnesota Wild, a team put together by general manager Bill Guerin, who passed on naming Keller to the United States' team in the upcoming 4 Nations Face-off?
Austin Facer doesn't think so. In fact, he thinks Keller made have been extra motivated against the Wild on Tuesday night. Despite Keller's two power-play goal performance, Utah fell to the Wild 5-4 after the first-ever shootout in franchise history.
That, plus an update on the team's permanent branding and a bit of community goodwill by injured stars, Sean Durzi and John Marino, make up this episode of SLC Puck!
