The Utah Hockey Club ended their losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the Calgary Flames, thanks to two goals from Lawson Crouse.
The game started off with a strong performance from the Flames, who took an early lead with a goal from Elias Lindholm. However, the Utah Hockey Club quickly responded with a goal from Crouse, tying the game at 1-1.
The Flames regained the lead in the second period with a goal from Johnny Gaudreau, but once again, Crouse answered back for the Utah Hockey Club, tying the game at 2-2.
In the third period, the Utah Hockey Club took control of the game, scoring three unanswered goals from Crouse, Nick Schmaltz, and Christian Dvorak. The Flames managed to score one more goal, but it was not enough to overcome the Utah Hockey Club’s lead.
Crouse’s two goals were crucial in securing the win for the Utah Hockey Club, who had been struggling with a five-game losing streak. His performance earned him the first star of the game.
The Flames, on the other hand, have now lost three games in a row and will need to regroup before their next match.
The Utah Hockey Club’s victory was also a special one for head coach Rick Tocchet, who earned his 200th win as an NHL coach.
The Utah Hockey Club will look to continue their winning ways as they face off against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Flames will try to bounce back against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday.
Overall, it was an exciting game for both teams, but the Utah Hockey Club’s strong performance and Crouse’s two goals proved to be the difference in the end.
