SALT LAKE CITY -- Casey DeSmith made 34 saves for the Dallas Stars, who held on to defeat the Utah Hockey Club 2-1 at Delta Center on Monday. It was DeSmith's first win since Oct. 24.

McBain has been Utah’s unsung hero. He is on pace to have a career year in terms of points and has 11 (eight goals, three assists) through 23 games this season. Tourigny said it last week, McBain has been one of Utah’s most consistent forwards no matter what role he is playing.

Earlier this year, before Ashley and Ryan Smith acquired the team, the Arizona Coyotes had the lowest valuation among the NHL's 32 teams, somewhere around $500 million.

Here’s a number: the Utah Hockey Club is now 25 games into its first season. With that in mind, and after some yo-yo performances recently, it’s worth taking stock of what’s going on at the Delta Center on the ice.
