CALGARY, ALBERTA, Canada – Lawson Crouse unleashed a wicked wrister less than ten minutes into the night to give Utah Hockey Club a 1-0 lead over Calgary.

Utah HC (16-15-6, 38 points) is in Calgary to take on the Flames (18-12-7, 43 points) at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Thursday, January 2. Calgary lost 5-1 at Delta Center on October 30.

Crouse took a centering pass from Ian Cole and blasted the puck underneath Dan Vladar’s glove. The goal was Crouse’s fifth of the year and the 11th point for Cole.

Calgary has outshot Utah 6-4 in the opening minutes but hasn’t been able to beat Karel Vejmelka in goal.

Utah Hockey Club hopes to end 5-game losing skid

It’s been tough for Utah HC lately. After winning seven straight road games, including their first five in December, the team has dropped five consecutive contests since beating Minnesota 2-1 on December 20.

The Hat Trick: Utah HC Runs Out Of Gas In Edmonton

Utah HC will have to overcome an illness that has been sweeping through the locker room in recent days. The illness forced captain Clayton Keller from the lineup in a 4-1 loss to Edmonton earlier in the week. Matthias Maccelli will miss tonight’s game, with Liam O’Brien taking over on the third line.

Utah has been outscored 21-10 during the losing streak. The team is seeking its 12th road win.

The Flames currently hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, with Utah five points behind in 11th place.
