Utah HC with their first power play of the night after a holding penalty against St. Louis.

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Utah is flying early on tonight. An early goal and power play opportunity has sparked some serious energy into the team thus far.

5 shots on goal and some really nice chances. Forwards look good.

Whew, that was a STELLAR glove save by Ingram.

Absolutely robbed a Blues forward on a one-timer from the slot.

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Keller called for a hook and Utah's PK takes the ice for the first time.

Questionable call. Looked like the Blues player purposefully closed his arm to trap Keller's stick and draw the penalty against Utah.

Keller didn't look happy about it.

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Too many men on the ice penalty against Utah.

5 on 3 for 26 seconds.

Phenomenal PK by Utah.

Beat a 5 on 3 and a 5 on 4. Blues were relentless with O-zone possession nearly the entire time and several dangerous opportunities.

Cole did a great job defending the crease area and Stenlund saved a would-be goal by lifting a forward's stick.

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Blues tie it up late in the first period. Nice zone entry off the rush, nobody picks up Parayko and he let's go of a rocket in the slot that beats Ingram.

1-1 with about a minute left.

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Strong start from Utah as they came out flying and put a ton of pressure on the Blues early with a lot of shots on goal.

However, you see the impact of penalties. Even when the other team doesn't score, it can shift momentum.

Game tied 1-1 after 1 period.

Lamoureux has dropped the gloves for his first NHL fight, and he just did extremely well.

His reach makes it so tough. He landed a few big blows, and I'd say he won.

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Lamoureux is ejected after the hit he delivered that led to the fight...I'd say that's questionable. He's a big body with a wide stance and was trying to play the puck.

Unfortunate for Lam. His night is over.

Utah back to full strength after the 3-minute Blues power play.

PK has been strong tonight.

Game remains tied 1-1.

Tensions are high between Utah and the Blues.

Lots of extracurriculars after the whistle is blown. Division games are just different.

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Utah has outshot St. Louis 25-10 through 2 periods and currently lead 2-1.

Put pucks on net and good things are bound to happen.

Utah Hockey Club back to the power play after Crouse takes a high stick to the face.

 

[Cole Bagley-8264]

Blues back at full strength.
