SAN JOSE, Calif. – Dylan Guenther has been on a tear to start this season and he continued his excellent play in San Jose.

Guenther comes off of two goals last game in Colorado. He has recorded a point in 12 of his last 17 games.

Guenther has opened scoring for Utah in five games and he is the leading NHL goal scorer among players 21 years old and younger.

If Guenther can make it two games in a row with two goals, he will tie the top mark for multi-goal games in the NHL with five.

The game is slowing down for Utah’s Logan Cooley

If you pay close attention to Cooley for just a few minutes, it’s obvious that he’s a special player with incredible potential.

Given his blazing speed, phenomenal puck handling skills, elite creativity and remarkable vision, Cooley has been all over the ice and elevated his game to a new level.

Really can’t ask for better execution.

Incredible entry. Great pass off the boards from Keller. Elite pass by Guenther and a heck of a play by Cooley to get to the net and pull a gorgeous move to score.
