André Tourigny's squad has struggled with consistency lately, securing only three wins in their last seven outings, with just one coming in regulation time-a 7-2 victory against the Islanders. However, in their clash with the Rangers, Utah showcased resilience and grit. Despite trailing twice during the game, they managed to level the score and edge out their opponents in overtime with a 3-2 win. Sean Durzi, who is in top form and consistently delivers results, netted the game-winner, having scored points in nine of his last ten games.
