He's only 26 years old, but Mikhail Sergachev has been one of Utah's most important players this season. What will they do without him?

For the first time in what feels like a year (Logan Cooley’s words, not mine), the Utah Hockey Club won a game at home — and in decisive fashion, at that. The final score was 4-2 in Utah’s favor, lifting them over the St.

The Utah Hockey Club announced Saturday that defenseman Mikhail Sergachev is out day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, with Utah head coach Andre Tourigny adding that Sergachev is ‘banged up a little bit’,

The Lighting should make a move for Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro at the NHL trade deadline to replace Mikhail Sergachev.

However, Sergachev is also having success with the NHL's newest team. The 26-year-old is having a big year offensively, posting eight goals and 28 points in 39 games thus far. He is also Utah's true No. 1 defenseman and sees time on both their power play and penalty kill because of his strong all-around play.

Chris Kreider gave the Rangers their first lead, 4-3, at 10:22. Carrick won a face-off back to Kreider, who skated into the high slot and scored with a shot that deflected in off the stick of Utah defenseman Ian Cole.

The Rangers special teams play leads Blueshirts to first third period come-from-behind win of the season with a 5-3 victory over the Utah Hockey Club.

After being sidelined due to back surgery, Utah's defenseman John Marino will play his first minutes as a player for Utah Hockey Club. Originally on the New Jersey Devils, Utah traded for him on Day 2 of the 2024 NHL Draft just after trading for defenseman Mikhail Sergachev from the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Artemi Panarin scored two goals, Chris Kreider had the go-ahead goal off a defensive deflection with 9:38 to play, and the New York Rangers rallied for a 5-3 victory over the Utah Hockey Club.
