Utah Hockey Club was set to face the No. 1 team in the NHL, which is widely known as a Stanley Cup contender. To the Delta Center crowd’s delight, Utah put forth a 4-1 win over the Jets, etching its season-long progress with a cohesive and commanding performance.

Mark Scheifele became the second player in franchise history to reach 800 career points when he got the Jets on the board in the third period tonight. Winnipeg had been 0-for-3 on the power play leading up to the fourth opportunity in the third period and down 3-0 to the Utah Hockey Club.

No, the Utah Hockey Club is not officially eliminated from playoff contention, but after falling 4-2 to the Los Angeles Kings Thursday at the Delta Center, the team is on its last breath. That's why there was more solemn frustration in the players' voices following the game.
