UTAH HOCKEY CLUB (7-9-3) AT PITTSBURGH PENGUINS (7-11-4)

PPG PAINTS ARENA, PITTSBURGH, PA, USA

Networks: Utah16, SN-PIT

The first ever meeting with Utah HC!

It hasn't been the start their fans have been hoping for. After coming out of the blocks with some fire, they are back to being under .500, much like how the Coyotes usually were. Keller, Guenther and Vejmelka have been their standout performers, but they just aren't getting the help needed to push the team to better standing.

The second night of back-to-backs has been the Pens specialty going back to last year. They have the 2nd best record in the NHL in those situations. Let's see if that trend continues against a very beatable opponent mired in a 3-game skid.
