I wish we could see Keller try to make plays for himself more like you see Cooley doing every once and a while

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Nick Schmaltz scored but unfortunately it was challenged for goaltender interference by Hayton and confirmed.

Score remains 2-0 with 1:33 remaining in the first period.

End of the first period.

Utah 2
Pittsburgh 0

After a slow start, Utah responded well with 2 goals and have dominated the game thus far. They've got energy, urgency, and are suffocating Pittsburgh right now.

Best period they've played since Carolina.

 

[Hard deke -4114]

We’ve seen many times when the clubbers have had a solid first period and came out flat in the 2nd and allowed the other team to get back in to the game. I hope they can keep the energy up and play a solid second period.

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Schmaltz and Lamoureux with slashing penalties and Utah will defend a 5 on 3 for 2 minutes.

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Crosby scores No. 600 on the power play against Utah.

Utah leads 2-1 with 16:49 left in the second.

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Utah power play up after Pittsburgh commits a tripping penalty.

Good opportunity to retake a two-goal lead.

2-1 Utah with 11:08 remaining in the 2nd period.

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Utah strikes on the PP and lead 3-1 near the midway point of the second period!

Bjugstad credited with the goal after Kesselring let go of a rocket from the point.
