Utah Hockey Club's captain did it all in a win over the St. Louis Blues.
The captain’s four-point night — which included one goal and three assists — powered his team past the St. Louis Blues in a 4-2 win Saturday at Delta Center.
Michael Kesselring opened scoring while The Club skated on the man advantage. With Mikhail Sergachev sidelined day to day with an upper-body injury, Kesselring was moved to run the point on the first power play unit — and he made the most of it. Nick Schmaltz followed it up with a knock-in tally while stationed in the St. Louis crease. Keller found his linemate with a slick backdoor pass at 8:25 for the 2-1 boost. With the goal, Schmaltz extended his point streak to five games.
“It allows you to feel good early on in the game. Us as a line, we had a lot of touches early. It allows you to feel the puck more and gives you more confidence to make plays,” Cooley said. “There’s no better feeling than winning. And especially on home ice, these fans deserve it. It’s felt like it’s been a year since we had a win at home,” Cooley said. “It was a great effort by everyone in here.”was no doubt daunting, but the resulting combination of Cooley and Keller has been fruitful for Utah.
