Utah Hockey Club announces preseason schedule

SALT LAKE CITY — The first games are set for the Utah hockey club.

Salt Lake City’s first-year NHL team announced its preseason schedule Thursday, including two games played in Utah and six more out of state.

On Sunday, September 22, Utah will play its first game in franchise history when it takes on the St. Louis Blues in a preseason game in Des Moines, Iowa.

Utah’s home opener – and only preseason game at the Delta Center – is the next day against the Los Angeles Kings.

This game will replace the previously scheduled Frozen Fury which took place between the Kings and the Vegas Golden Knights. Those who purchased Frozen Fury tickets will be refunded and have the opportunity to purchase a limited number of tickets to the Utah preseason game before they are made available to the general public.

Utah will then hit the road for games against the Golden Knights, Colorado Avalanche, San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks.

The Hockey Club’s preseason schedule ends October 5 in Utah against the Avalanche at the Maverik Center. A team spokesperson said the game will be played at the West Valley City Arena due to a previously scheduled engagement at the Delta Center.
