'Undoubtedly': Utah Hockey Club knew that Guenther would return after he had taken Puck to the face
Salt Lake City Ten minutes in the first period of the 3-1 victory of the Utah Hockey Club on the Calgary Flames on Tuesday, Utah Hockey Club Dylan Guenther took a puck and went down, blood dripped from his nose and bundled on the ice.
For every average person or maybe an athlete in a different sport, it would be more than enough to force a 'sick day'.
But was there any doubt that Guenther would return to the game?
“Undoubtedly,” said head coach Andr Tourigny after the game when he was asked about his reaction to Guenther's injury.
Guenther was helped at 9:56 of the first period of the ice and returned at 1:07, hit the nose and everything to an applause from the home crowd.
While he was gone, Kevin Stenlund of Utah made his best impression of the teammate they call 'Gunner', a one-timer beyond Calgary Netminder Dustin Wolf tearing to give Utah a 1-0 benefit 17:46 in the first period.
Barrett Hayton doubled Utah's lead with a slick backhanded shot that defeated Wolf, perhaps the best Rookie goalkeeper of the NHL in the second period. When asked whether he doubted that Guenther would come out of the dressing room, Hayton Tourignies's answer repeated.
Not really.
“In the culture of hockey, every man in this room will do what they can play,” said Hayton. “Guenther had that scary tonight where nobody really knew from our point of view on the couch where the puck had disappeared. I think it brings a kick of energy when you see them coming back with a couple of zippers (stitches) and blood and things like that.”
Clayton Keller suffered a similar injury on January 20 in the 5-2 victory of Utah over Winnipeg. He found the wrong end of a shot by teammate Michael Kesseling, deflected and under his helmet vizier, leaving a nasty cut on his face.
Nevertheless, just like Gunner on Tuesday, Keller returned to the game within the same period. In that match he immediately found the back of the net and scored Utah's first goal of victory with a new set of stitches on his face.
Although Guenther did not match that storyline on Tuesday with a goal, he collected an assist on Keller's Game-Seal empty goal in the third and added three shots to goal and two hits to his Stat-line.
“We talked about this when Keller came back from his (injury), and I thought Gunner was doing great work not to be hesitant,” said Hayton.
It is the hockey player way, according to the dressing room of Utah Hockey Club. Bumps, bruises and occasionally a puck against the face are only part of the game.
Even after he had seen Guenther for a moment and clearly had pain, it did not stop his teammates from diving for the frozen rubber.
Defensemen Sean Durzi and Mikhail Sergachev both explained to stop pucks, making goalkeeper Karel Vejmelka, who made his 18th consecutive start, some added defense.
After all, they are not yet out of the Playoff yacht.
With the victory over Calgary, Utah is 8 points behind the Minnesota Wild for the second Wildcard spot with seven games to go.
“There is no stopping those players,” Tourigny said. “There is only one thing we want to do, we want to pursue that goal and we will not stop. We will not stop until we pull the plug. If they do that, it is what it is, but we will not give them a reason to do it.”
The fans of the team earn his utmost, Tourigny added.
“We are so proud to play in this season, the way we are supported by the fans, we are so happy that we think we want to give it back.”
