SALT LAKE CITY — The first games are set for the Utah Hockey Club.
The first-year NHL team in Salt Lake City announced its preseason schedule Thursday, featuring two games played in Utah and six more away from the state.
On Sunday, Sept. 22, Utah will play its first game in franchise history when it takes on the St. Louis Blues in a preseason game in Des Moines, Iowa.
Utah's first home game — and only preseason game at the Delta Center — will be the next day against the Los Angeles Kings.
That game will replace the previously scheduled Frozen Fury which was set between the Kings and Vegas Golden Knights. Those who bought Frozen Fury tickets will be refunded and given the chance to buy a limited amount of tickets to the Utah preseason game before they are made available to the general public.
Utah will then head out on the road for games against the Golden Knights, the Colorado Avalanche, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks.
The Hockey Club's preseason schedule will conclude on Oct. 5 in Utah against the Avalanche at the Maverik Center. A team spokesman said the game is being played at the West Valley City arena due to the Delta Center having a previously scheduled engagement.
