The Utah Hockey Club lead San Jose 4-1 heading into the third period Monday night at the Delta Center. That lead was wiped away by three San Jose goals within a two-minute span late in the final moments of play. Utah had a chance to come away with a win in overtime, but a penalty put the Hockey Club at an early disadvantage. The Sharks would score shortly after sealing the comeback victory 5-4 in San Jose’s favor.
“It’s 100% mental. It started with a turnover in the neutral zone, then they got two scoring chances out of it, and then the faceoff in our zone, they pulled their goalie, they scored off that play, and it’s a snowball effect from there” said Tourigny.
Utah will try to regroup and welcome in the Calgary Flames Wednesday with faceoff at 7pm in Salt Lake City.
