Barrett Hayton's Late Goal Secures Utah's 2-1 Victory Over Sharks

Utah Hockey Club ends home losing streak with a dramatic win, aided by strong defense and timely scoring.

Barrett Hayton scored the game-winning goal with 1:32 left in regulation, his eighth of the season, to give Utah a 2-1 win over the San Jose Sharks.
Utah snapped a two-game losing streak and secured its first regulation home victory since November 13, improving its record at the Delta Center to 6-8-4.
Nick Schmaltz tied the game in the second period with his seventh goal of the season, while Karel Vejmelka made 18 saves to anchor Utah's defensive effort.
San Jose's Fabian Zetterlund opened the scoring just 58 seconds into the game, but the Sharks managed only three shots on goal in the second period and struggled offensively.
The Sharks suffered another setback as forward Klim Kostin left the game with a lower-body injury, while Utah prepares for a back-to-back game against the New York Islanders.
