Players To Watch:

Utah Hockey Club

Mikhail Sergachev was instrumental in helping the Utah Hockey Club end their losing streak. Sergachev had a goal and two assists in the win and now has a three-game point streak with 5 points (2g, 3a) over that span.

Vegas Golden Knights

Pavel Dorofeyev scored twice in the 6-3 loss to LA, but the 24-year-old Russian has six goals on the season and is providing some excellent depth scoring for a deep, balanced Vegas club.
