Utah Hockey Club’s Dylan Guenther Out Indefinitely with Lower-Body Injury
The 21-year-old winger, Utah's leading goal-scorer, faces an extended absence as the team recalls forward Josh Doan from the AHL.
- Dylan Guenther, Utah's leading goal-scorer with 16 goals this season, sustained a lower-body injury during a game against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday.
- The injury, described as 'long but not that long' by head coach Andre Tourigny, will keep Guenther out indefinitely, though it is not expected to end his season.
- Guenther, 21, has been a key player for Utah, contributing 34 points in 40 games and leading the team in power-play goals with seven.
- Josh Doan, a 22-year-old forward and son of Arizona hockey legend Shane Doan, has been recalled from AHL Tucson to fill Guenther's spot on the roster.
- Guenther's absence is a significant blow to Utah, which has struggled offensively this season, ranking 23rd in the league in goals per game despite strong underlying metrics.
