(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Utah Hockey Club center Jack McBain (22) celebrates a game winning goal by Utah Hockey Club left wing Lawson Crouse (67) for a 2-1 win over Chicago during an NHL hockey game at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, February. 25, 2025.

Crouse finally ended the suspense by pulling an old move out of his bag of tricks. The Utah wing's ninth goal of the season came at the 12:12 mark of the third period on a wicked backhand that he used to display with more frequency earlier in his career.

That’s significant because Team USA general manager Bill Guerin is the GM of the Wild. In four games against the Wild this season, Keller now has nine points. He’s on a six-game point streak and has a total of 69 points in 59 games.
