Captain Clayton Keller had a career high and franchise record five points, a career-high four assists, and six different players scored as Utah tied its season-high for goals in a game with a 6-1 rout of the Minnesota Wild on Thursday. It was Utah's third straight win against Minnesota this season.

Clayton Keller's career-high five points led the Utah Hockey Club to its third straight win, a dominant 6-1 decision against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday in Salt Lake City.

It’s weird,” Utah Hockey Club head coach André Tourigny joked. He’s right, it kind of was. Tourigny’s team has had a habit of giving up late goals and being unable to extend its own gaps. But that was not the case in Thursday’s 6-1 win over the Minnesota Wild at Delta Center.

Clayton Keller had a career-high five points — scoring his 22nd goal and assisting on four others — and the Utah Hockey Club beat the Minnesota Wild 6-1 on Thursday night for its fourth straight home victory.

That’s significant because Team USA general manager Bill Guerin is the GM of the Wild. In four games against the Wild this season, Keller now has nine points. He’s on a six-game point streak and has a total of 69 points in 59 games.

Following Thursday night’s 6-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild, the Utah Hockey Club have just 22 games remaining in the regular season. Now on a three-game winning streak, Utah sits just two points behind the Vancouver Canucks for the final wild card spot in the Western Conference.
