Utah Jazz
The Utah Hockey Club started the season strong, going undefeated in their first three games, but their performance has since declined to 2-5-3 in 10 games, with just two wins in their last eight games. The team's goaltending has been average with a combined 3.36 GAA and a save percentage below .890. Despite adding veteran players in the offseason, the success of the team has been reliant on their young core, including Clayton Keller, Nick Schmaltz, Dylan Guenther, and Logan Cooley all posting over 10 points. Their most recent game was a significant win over the St. Louis Blues, with nine players contributing points and a strong defensive effort limiting the Blues to just 15 shots in a 4-2 victory. Currently ranked 22nd in power rankings, Utah ranks 21st in offense (2.85 goals per game) and 27th in defense (allowing 3.46 goals against per game) with a 6-5-3 season record.
