Utah HC has not won back-to-back games since their New York road trip at the beginning of the season. It will be a tall task to get it done on Sunday as they’ll either have to rely on a tired Karel Vejmelka at goaltender or turn to Jaxson Stauber, who has just six games of NHL experience on his résumé.

PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosby scored his 600th NHL goal, but the Pittsburgh Penguins allowed four straight goals and lost for the eighth time in 10 games, 6-1 to the Utah Hockey Club at PPG Paints Arena on Saturday.
