In his first NHL game in nearly two years, Jaxson Stauber held the powerhouse Vegas Golden Knights off the score sheet in their own barn, earning the first shutout in Utah HC history. Stauber hung around the team until Ingram returned, relieving Vejmelka in back-to-back situations. He earned a record of 2-1-1 and he never looked out of place.

The Utah Hockey Club has chosen three finalists for the permanent team name it will adopt beginning with the 2025-26 NHL season. Yeti isn’t one of them.
