Utah HC Drops Tough Battle With Boston

Michael Kesselring snapped home the winning goal 2:46 into overtime, and the Utah Hockey Club came from behind to upset the Boston Bruins Saturday night at another raucous sold-out crowd at Delta Center.

Utah (4-1-1) weathered a stingy Boston defence and a stout performance by Jeremy Swayman to snatch their first home overtime win in franchise history.

Boston (3-2-1) opened the scoring with Cole Koepke’s goal midway through the second period, before Utah rookie defenceman Vladislav Kolyachanok sped in off the far wing to lift a backhand shot over Swayman to send the Delta Center into bedlam.

Utah’s next game of the homestand will be Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators.
