NEW YORK – It took six goals and an extra period but the Utah Hockey Club remained undefeated with a huge 6-5 win over the New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
Clayton Keller led the way with two goals, one of which was the overtime game-winner, and an assist. Nick Schmaltz recorded an impressive three assists.
The Rangers seemed to have quick response for every Utah goal. However, the Utah HC remained out in front and once it went to OT, there were no more chances for answers in New York.

Some nice pressure early on from the UHC. Consistently getting pucks in deep and hitting the forecheck hard.#UtahHC

BARRETT HAYTON PUTS US ON THE BOARD FIRST!

Barrett Hayton scores! Great feed and Hayton goes top shelf. What a start to the year for Hayton.
MSG is SILENT.

Barrett Hayton opened the scoring for Utah tonight, extending his season-opening goal/point streak to three games (10/8-10/12: 3g, 1a). He has now matched the longest goal streak of his NHL career, set with Arizona from 1/8/23-1/12/23 (3g).

Elite defensive play by Durzi on the odd man rush for the Rangers. Thats a goal if Durzi doesn’t lift the other Ranger’s stick.
Utah stays ahead 1-0 with 13:15 left in the first.#UtahHC

Rangers tie it up on a goal from Panarin
Ingram’s vision was slightly blocked due to his defenseman. Panarin went low glove side.
1-1 in New York.

Ingram continues to make top tier saves. He’s been so good for Utah to start the season. Bailed them out quite a few times.#UtahHC

NYR with suffocating pressure right now. Utah’s struggled to clear their own zone and the Rangers are banging on the door. So much offensive talent on this Rangers squad.

End of 1 at MSG.
All things considered, good period from the UHC. Nice early goal, decent number of shots, couple big saves from Ingram and a fairly even game.
New York did wake up though and had a few dangerous opportunities late. Utah needs a strong response in the 2nd.

Barrett Hayton has looked SO good to start the season.
Here’s what Coach Bear had to say about it: “I think he’s more comfortable, more relaxed I will say. Hayton is super competitive. He’s a guy who puts a lot of pressure on himself. The goal in his first game relieved the…

Jack McBain makes it 2-1! Logan Cooley with excellent patience in the zone, dumps it off to Kolyachonok, bodies crash the net, and McBain cleans it up.

Ranger’s goal on the PP.
Nobody stepped to the shooter and Panarin with his second of the night. Can’t give a guy like that so much space.
2-2 at MSG.

Rangers score again but it’s immediately waived off.
Goaltender Interference. MSG does not like it.

NYR are challenging the call. Seems ridiculous they can watch the full replay on the jumbotron and then decide to challenge the call… https://t.co/Wo5hqpt9Yv

Goaltender interference is confirmed. Rangers will send a man to the box. Utah to the PP.
Game still tied at 2-2.#UtahHC

Ingram is called for holding behind his own net…not sure I agree with that one.
4 on 4 for the next 1:45.

CLAYTON KELLER SCORES!
Kerfoot with an excellent play to win the puck back behind the Rangers net and then feeds Keller on the doorstep.
3-2 Utah. This team can put the puck in the back of the net.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 13, 2024
Kerfoot has been sneaky good early for Utah. Couple really nice plays to win the puck back and some wizard passes. Underrated. https://t.co/UZI7VlGBY1

Kesselring and McBain drop the gloves in MSG…doesn’t go particularly well for either guy. Edstrom landed a few massive hits on McBain. Carrick also had a few on Kesselring.
MSG enjoyed that sequence.

MADNESS at MSG. Ingram just got cleaned out by Cuylle.
He’ll head to the box for 2 minutes.
Some wild hockey is being played by these two teams tonight…like I’m trying to wrap my head around what I am watching here.

Utah is going to have a 5-on-3 advantage here for about 50 seconds.
Really need to capitalize here. Regain a 2 goal lead. NYR is too dangerous.

Did Josh Doan just play interim goaltender while Ingram was down after making a save? Wow! This is one of the craziest games I have ever watched.

Kerfoot just took either a puck or a stick to the face. Went right to the bench.

Utah surrenders another after constant pressure from the Rangers and this one is tied up 5-5. Utah just could not clear the zone, and you could feel it coming.

Obviously winning this game in regulation is the best-case scenario but if Utah can hold out for OT, they at least steal a point in a difficult road game. That would be huge to get 3 points out of these first two in NY.

We’ll see if they can’t pull this one out like they did the other night in Long Island. Regardless they got a point in this game which is huge. 3 points through these first two games is solid.
