The Utah Hockey Club registered its first ever shutout with a 6-0 blanking of the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night in Sin City. In a game of firsts, not only did recent call-up Jaxson Stauber hold Vegas scoreless, Utah also saw its first-ever goal by Alex Kerfoot and not one, but two goals by Nick Schmaltz, who had been goalless up to that point.
Austin Facer, who saw the game from a packed-house watch party in downtown Salt Lake City, believes the hockey community in Utah is feeling the NHL effect in a big way. He sees hockey only getting bigger in the state, especially as the team continues to win fans over on and off the ice.

Sorry, everyone. I spent like an extra 2 hours trying to clean up the audio. Still couldn't get it perfect. Thanks for bearing with.
I was watching last night like: “Where the hell did this come from?!”
The sport is going to blow up here, I’m doing my part to spread it, thanks for doing your part, because it’s huge. I’m stoked for what’s to come. My little boy Jude went with me to the Carolina hurricanes game on the 13th, and he’s hooked for life and wants to play youth hockey now, I see that as a pattern for the future, and I absolutely love it. Let’s go! Love ya dude!
So pumped for you about Nash Cast. Amazing, man!!!🎉
