Per Tourigny,
Connor Ingram will start in net this morning against the Washington Capitals.
O’Brien will return to the lineup with Maccelli coming out.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
Tourigny on Kolyachonok being sent to Tucson:
“We have a lot of guys available right now. He didn’t play for a while so it’s tough for him to get ready, get in game shape when you don’t play for that long.”
Tourigny also said that Durzi and Bortuzzo are both “soon to be ready.”

JOSH DOAN SCORES AGAIN!!!!!!
Utah up 1-0 early in DC!!!!
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
Another high IQ play from Josh Doan as he recognizes the bodies in front of the net and beats the netminder from DEEP.
Doan is a special talent. Thriving in his return to Utah. https://t.co/25ezEzrvZs

MICHAEL CARCONE SCORES AND UTAH IS UP 2-0 IN LESS THAN 2 MINUTES IN DC!!!!!
Utah came ready to play!

Cannot give PP opportunities to the Caps. Simple as that.
Goals a plenty in DC as Utah leads 2-1. https://t.co/IGvtk22kru

JACK MCBAIN SCORES!!!!!
What a pass from Kesselring, but what a finish from McBain.
3-1 Utah!
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
Nice little saucer pass from Kesselring and McBain finished it off with a crafty move.
McBain Train is an elite nickname. https://t.co/9bzrybQxZO
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
Utah currently shooting better than most NBA teams.
3 goals on 7 shots is wild. What a start.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
John Marino just saved a goal.
Ingram got pulled away from the net and Marino threw himself in front of the open net to make a big save.
Insane amount of energy in this first period.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
Great play here from Marino to disrupt the shot and get his body in front of it.
That puck easily could've ended up in the back of the net. https://t.co/J51cpAmcI4
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
Stenlund to the box for tripping.
Capitals with another power play opportunity.
1P: 8:21 | 3-1 Utah
— KSL Sports (@kslsports) February 9, 2025
Utah needs to stay out of the box if they want to win this game.
Capitals are far too dangerous. https://t.co/NDoHRcsmi9
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
Connor Ingram is coming off the ice after being attended to by the training staff. Took a wicked shot up high. He's headed to the locker room.
Karel Vejmelka in.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
Capitals off the iron. Yeesh.
Ice has tilted in favor of Washington.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
Great start offensively for the Utah HC but costly penalties have kept the Caps in the game.
First few minutes of the second period are going to be critical. Can't let Washington come out flying.
Also, no more penalties. https://t.co/JKyg5C9TFs

Nick Schmaltz off the pipe.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
Capitals called for a hold.
Utah with their first PP of the afternoon.
2P: 18:31 | 3-2 Utah

DYLAN GUENTHER SCORES ON THE POWER PLAY.
TOP CHEDDAR ON THE ONE-TIMER.
4-2 UTAH!
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
Same spot. Same shot. Same result.
Guenther looking like a familiar face in Capital One Arena.
No. 11 is special Utah fans.pic.twitter.com/6MkL704VQQ
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) February 9, 2025
Per Utah HC,
Goaltender Connor Ingram is not expected to return to today’s game (upper body).
