Utah's Playoff Hopes Are Hanging by a Thread
SLC Puck in your inbox! Issue #12 - Monday, 4/6/25
Hey Puckers,
If you’re a fan of the Utah Hockey Club, guess what — you’re also now a fan of every team playing against Calgary, Minnesota and Vancouver to finish out the year. Here’s the math, with 5 games to play, Utah’s standings point total can only climb to 92. If any of those teams; the Flames, Wild, or Canucks, surpass 92 points, Utah is out.
So frankly, the Club needs a lot of help. Minnesota, for example has 91 points right now. Should the Wild win one more game this season, it won’t matter what Utah does, the Club will be out.
Minnesota plays San Jose on Wednesday. Go Sharks go.
