Former NHL Video Coach, Steve “Petey” Peters takes a closer look at the Utah Hockey Club at the Four Nations Face-Off Break. Utah is in a rebuild, are they on track? Petey dives into the stats to see if Utah is improving from last season in Arizona.
Not only looking into the team stats, Petey looks at several Utah players to see if they are improving. Clayton Keller, Nick Schmaltz, Mikhael Sergachev, Sean Durzi, Logan Cooley, Dylan Guenther, Lawson Crouse, Matias Maccelli, Connor Ingram, Karel Vejmelka and coach Andre Tourigny get stats compared over last season.
Time to go Inside the Coaches’ Room with Petey.

Thanks, Petey! Appreciate you doing this!
I do wonder if going from those east coast road trips and then having to play in Utah at altitude is an issue for them. I know when new Jazz players come in it sometimes takes them a while (sometimes a year) to really get acclimated to the altitude. Afterwards though, it’s like a secret weapon.
Thank you for Utah HC content, Petey.
Great report, Petey. I agree with you on the 6 points being a really big hurdle. I'd love for them to be the sort of time to rise up, but it's a big climb. Still, if they can win a couple games in a row here it'll be a fun end to the season regardless of where they end up. There are definitely some fun discussions to be had about where the team should go from here (at the end of the season especially). Any chance you can get Bill Armstrong on sometime?
Petey you the man!!!! Love your content always
Thanks Petey! We need ALL the Utah HC content!
Love the coverage, Petey!
Really helpful for those of us who didn't follow AZ before. Also good to see about the coach since you are right that people are quick to judge.
It's so great to see you again Petey!!
6 points is a lot when almost every team gets a point every game.
No one in the middle tier is playing well though and they get the teams they are chasing after the break.
This is the second time I've been fortunate enough to have a team relocate to my city though, and this has been a far more favorable situation. Lots of fan support and very good interactions between the players and fans.
