Utah's Karel Vejmelka recorded his first shutout of the season, leading the Grizzlies to a 4-0 victory over the Minnesota Wild. Barrett Hayton scored twice, and the Grizzlies earned their third consecutive win.
Karel Vejmelka stopped 26 shots for his first shutout of the season, Barrett Hayton scored twice and the Utah Grizzlies defeated the Minnesota Wild 4-0 on Thursday night for their third straight victory. Clayton Keller and Lawson Crouse also scored, and defenseman Nick DiSimone had two assists, setting up both of Hayton's goals. Hayton's first goal came as part of an early surge by Utah, which outshot Minnesota 16-5 and scored two goals in the opening period.
Hayton capped the scoring early in the third with a backhander off a rebound that Gustavsson couldn't control. The Grizzlies are two points out of the second wildcard spot in a crowded Western Conference playoff picture. Despite welcoming back star forward Kirill Kaprizov and captain Jared Spurgeon after extended absences, Minnesota came out flat. The Wild rebounded with a more consistent attack in the final two periods, but Vejmelka kept them off the scoreboard. Less than two minutes into the game, DeSimone fired a shot from the top of the right circle. Hayton had set up in front of the net, and his tip skipped past Gustavsson, giving Utah a lead it never relinquished. Utah is at Winnipeg on Friday night. Minnesota hosts Calgary on Saturday night
