An early penalty against #UtahHC as Ian Cole is called for a hold.

Several huge saves by Vejmelka during the power play following some really nice O-zone possessions from the Wild.
A cross-ice pass resulted in a wide open one-timer that Vejmelka narrowly stopped with his pad as he moved quickly across the crease.#UtahHC
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) December 21, 2024
The Wild play with such pace and urgency.
Currently outshooting Utah 5-0 through the first 7 minutes.
Vejmelka has been tested a lot early on, but he’s responded very well.

Minnesota Wild strike first. Quick rush results in an odd man rush and they cash in.

This has become the norm for #UtahHC
Wizardry from Cooley and Guenther finding the back of the net. Huge response from those two in order to tie the game.
Superstars in the making. https://t.co/dY52rIU5ln

Strong response by #UtahHC after an early barrage from the Wild that resulted in a goal.
That’s how you compete with the best. When they swing, you swing right back.
1-1 after the first. https://t.co/V6uvxfpod0

Utah’s power play is up 21% from November to December.
Currently, Utah boasts the third best power play in the NHL during December at 36.8%.#UtahHC

Minnesota is challenging the goal for goaltender interference. https://t.co/u7CAHkvwoL
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) December 21, 2024
The goal is deemed goaltender interference and overturned.
The score remains 1-1.
That one is tough. Stenlund’s stick did make contact with Fleury, but it appeared to be lifted by the Wild player behind him.#UtahHC

#UtahHC back to the power play after an interference call against the Wild.

Wild back to full strength.
No shots but good possession by the top unit. Absolutely nothing from the second unit. https://t.co/lQODIefptW

INCREDIBLE PK from #UtahHC
Just suffocating pressure from the Wild but textbook positioning and elite goaltending keep the game tied.
Big moment in the game.

Big opportunity to take the lead in the third.
Utah has essentially scored on every third power play in December. This will be their third of the night against the Wild.#UtahHC https://t.co/2PYsW0hTpn

Karel Vejmelka has been at his best tonight against the Wild.
Crazy glove save on a one-timer and just barely denied a breakaway opportunity.
Wherever you are, this man deserves some Veggie chants 🥦🥦🥦
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) December 21, 2024
HUGE SAVE.
To move so quickly and keep that out is absurd. https://t.co/sO0P3xiKnX

Fleury to the bench.
Extra attacker on for the Wild.
Just over a minute to go.#UtahHC

The Utah Hockey Club defeat the Minnesota Wild 2-1 on the road!
Make it 4 straight wins and 7 on the road for #UtahHC
That’s a HUGE win folks. As of late, Utah is one of the best teams in the National Hockey League.
