GRAB SOME ICE GIVEAWAY: https://www.slcpuck.com/p/giveaway-grab-some-ice

After an extended absence due to injury, Utah Hockey Club defenseman Sean Durzi is reportedly back in the line. He'll step on the ice on Saturday for his first appearance after missing 52 games due to an upper body. That, along with the rest of the Utah Hockey Club's improved health, gives the team their healthiest group all season.

That, SLC Puck host Austin Facer says, is huge, especially as the team enters a crucial point in the season. Still within striking distance of the playoffs but with just a few games to play before the trade deadline, it's "do or die" time as defenseman Michael Kesselring put it.

But before the Utah Hockey Club resumes play, the 4 Nations Face-off will conclude with Thursday's championship matchup between the United States and Canada. Facer believes Thursday's title bout, with all its many storylines, could be the most anticipated hockey game of all-time, thanks in large part to social media.

SLC Puck! is a twice-weekly podcast on Utah's hockey scene hosted by local hockey expert Austin Facer. You can subscribe to SLC Puck's YouTube channel here. Facer also co-hosts the NashCast, the Utah Hockey Club's alt-cast starring NHL funnyman Tyson Nash, available exclusively on SEG+ or Utah HC+.
