Michael Kesselring on what the defense needs to do in absence of Durzi & Marino: “It’s got to be by committee, it can’t just be one guy steeping up. Everybody’s going to have to be a little bit better, a little bit more consistent…”#UtahHC pic.twitter.com/dsLt6sQgqx

I’m really looking forward to seeing how Kesselring does tonight against Boston
Huge opportunity to play on the top line against the Bruins and their onslaught of forwards.
Against the Ducks he was great. A goal, an assist, and was +3 (team-high) in 22 minutes.#UtahHC

“He had a great training camp…I’m sure he will have some nerves and some rust, but he’s a veteran. He’s been in tough situations before and I know he can help us.” pic.twitter.com/fklduOK2QS

There’s already a decent line outside the Delta Center waiting for doors to open and I see more Boston jerseys than any Utah apparel.
It’s going to be interesting to see the ratio of fans tonight.#UtahHC #NHLBruins

The team store is so packed that there’s literally a line of 25+ people just to get into the store.
I have never seen it like that. The merch is 🔥 right now.
