Top NHL Players to Watch Against Utah Hockey Club Deseret News

 


With Utah hosting NHL games this fall, a whole new cast of characters is coming to town.

Just as NBA legends and superstars have visited the Delta Center over the years, the NHL's elite will also take on Utah Hockey Club, which opens its inaugural season on Oct. 8 against the Chicago Blackhawks.

There is no shortage of stars in the hockey world these days.

Here are five players you want to see in action when they come to Salt Lake City this season.

Connor Bedard, center for the Chicago Blackhawks

On October 8, Utah will make its NHL debut with rising star Connor Bedard, widely regarded as the greatest young talent of his generation.

Bedard, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NHL draft, made waves last year as a rookie with 22 goals and 61 total points.

Such an effort earned him the Calder Memorial Trophy as the league's most outstanding freshman player. The 18-year-old is one of the youngest players to ever win the award.

With the Blackhawks in Utah’s division, Hockey Club fans will have a front-row seat to witness Bedard’s rise to become the next NHL superstar. Perhaps the famed Utah-Chicago rivalry of the 1990s between the Jazz and Bulls could soon return in hockey form.

When Bedard plays in Utah: October 8 and February 25.

Auston Matthews, center for the Toronto Maple Leafs

Auston Matthews is coming off one of the most prolific scoring seasons of all time, scoring 69 goals, the most by a player since 1996.

The American star has averaged a whopping 46 goals per season since reaching the NHL in 2016. He won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the league's most valuable player in 2022.

When Matthews plays in Utah: March 10.

Nathan MacKinnon, Colorado Avalanche center

Reigning Hart Memorial Trophy winner Nathan MacKinnon has a unique combination of skill and strength that has made him a force to be reckoned with for Colorado, scoring 140 points last season and 111 in 2022-23.

With the Avalanche now playing in Utah's division and just one state away, it's almost certain that a regional rivalry will develop between the two clubs, with MacKinnon being the face of the opponent.

When MacKinnon plays in Utah: October 24 and December 27.

Connor McDavid, center for the Edmonton Oilers

Many consider Connor McDavid to be the top player in all of hockey at the moment. He was finally named MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs despite his team to lose in the final.

McDavid, who won the Hart Trophy three times by age 27, led the league in points five times and in assists four times. No Oilers player has dominated at such a high level as McDavid since the great Wayne Gretzky himself.

When McDavid plays in Utah: November 29.

While he may no longer be the monster on the ice he once was, living legend Alex Ovechkin is still a capable scoring force with plenty of potential left in him, and he’ll need it to pull off one of hockey’s greatest achievements.

In 19 seasons, Ovechkin has scored 853 goals, which puts him just 41 behind Gretzky for the No. 1 spot on the NHL's all-time career scoring leaderboard. His 895th goal likely won't come this season, but Ovechkin taking his record-setting pursuit to Utah will be must-see TV.

When Ovechkin plays in Utah: November 18.
