If you ask any Utah Hockey Club player, they’ll say every game is the most important of the season right now. Hyperbole, sure. But on Wednesday night, the claim actually held some merit. Utah faced and beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 who came into Delta Center trailing the Club by four points in the Western Conference playoff race.

The Utah Hockey Club take on the Anaheim Ducks tonight at 8:00 p.m. MST / 10:00 p.m. EST. Here are the projected lineups for Utah HC, please note these are subject to change.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Silence was the story of the Anaheim Ducks’ trade deadline day. That may be disappointing when you’re eager to see some action and were hoping they’d collect quality assets for players who don’t have futures with the club or, better yet, add another key piece or two to beef up for a playoff run.

How will those players impact their new teams? When will they play meaningful minutes at the NHL level? Here are scouting reports on eight big names.

Trouba scored his first goal since Jan. 4, 2024, a span of 95 games, to tie it 1-1 at 4:51. His initial shot from the slot went wide, but the rebound came back to him off the end boards and he slid the puck between Thompson's pads.

Aliaksei Protas had the first hat trick of his NHL career, Alex Ovechkin and Pierre-Luc Dubois each had three points and the Washington Capitals extended their winning streak to five, defeating the Anaheim Ducks 7-4 on Tuesday night.

Alex Ovechkin passes up an opportunity to inch closer to Wayne Gretzky’s record by setting up his teammate in the final minute as the Capitals upend the Ducks, 7-4.
