Utah Hockey Club Sean Durzi fight

SALT LAKE CITY – After Clayton Keller took a hit without the puck late in the second period, Sean Durzi defended his captain for the first fight in Utah Hockey Club history.

Chicago defenseman Connor Murphy collided with Keller on the boards and threw his gloves off.


Durzi immediately flew over to the spot and took Keller’s spot.

As Durzi and Murphy got into it, Durzi got cut above his right eye and had to leave the ice once the fight was separated.

Keller, Durzi, and Murphy all got time in the box for the altercation.

It is a pretty good sign for Utah that the first fight in the franchise’s history is one where the team is showing to have it’s captains back.

As the second period came to a close, Keller was let out of the box and Utah still led 3-1.
