SALT LAKE CITY — What happened? The Utah Hockey Club started the season so strong, scoring 16 goals in its first three games to lead the NHL in scoring. Since then, the Club has been outscored 22-8, including 12-3 over a three-game losing streak?

There might be a lot happening to explain what's wrong, but Austin Facer thinks the main reason why is simple enough: The team is not putting pucks on net.

Right now, Utah is one of the worst shooting teams in hockey and missing the net far too often. Get that corrected and the team will have a much better shot of turning things around against San Jose and Calgary this week. Hit the net and good things happen.

SLC Puck! is a twice-weekly podcast on Utah's hockey scene hosted by local hockey expert Austin Facer. You can follow SLC Puck on social media at @slcpuck.
