The Utah Hockey Club continue to impress and surprise during their inaugural season. Currently boasting an 18-18-4 record, they sit six points out of a wild card spot with plenty of regular season left.

Utah head coach André Tourigny said after practice on Monday that the game plan will be the same this time around as it was in November, but he expects Montreal to be better at everything that they were seven weeks ago.

He won’t do much to aid a bottom-10 offense, but his return will eventually allow for easier matchups for overmatched role players.

Finding success at home has turned into a persistent struggle for the Utah Hockey Club. Utah beat San Jose for its lone win in the first four games of a January home stand and has lost to Florida, Montreal and the New York Islanders.
