ICYMI: Ryan Smith gets the game puck for the first win

As the Utah Hockey Club prepares to face the New York Islanders in its first-ever road game in just over 30 minutes, owner Ryan Smith and his wife Ashley had another reason to celebrate on Tuesday.

The owner received the game puck from captain Clayton Keller, the club posted on social media this morning, in honor of the team's first win over Chicago in the historic opening game.

He'll certainly be watching from afar tonight as the team takes on the Isles in upstate New York, where forward Michael Carcone will make his season debut tonight.

The game will be broadcast locally on KUPX Utah 16, streaming is available on SEG+ and UtahHC+, and radio will be provided by 97.5 FM/1280 AM The KSL Sports Zone.

For those outside of Utah HC's broadcast area, streaming is available nationwide via ESPN+ and their NHL Power Play package.
