Utah HC's first goal in franchise history is unfortunately an own goal
The Utah Hockey Club has already made a unique first impression in the NHL, with their first unofficial goal being an own goal.
After the Arizona Coyotes era ended, the Utah Hockey Club quickly made waves in the league, even without being part of the Stanley Cup playoffs. A lot of information was leaked about the team, including logos, colors, and potential team names, shared by team owner Ryan Smith.
In their preseason game against the St. Louis Blues, Utah's first unofficial goal was unfortunately an own goal. Milos Keleman sent the puck down to Utah prospect Dylan Guenther, but he couldn't reach it, resulting in a fluke goal that put St. Louis up 2-0.
Fortunately, Utah bounced back when Michael Carcone scored their first official goal, assisted by Ben McCartney, making it 2-1.
The Utah Hockey Club now leads 3-2 against the Blues with nine minutes left in the third period. Despite the rough start, the team hopes to keep the lead and avoid further mistakes.
