Over the last 10 games, Utah has struggled mightily on the power play, converting on just 8.0% of its opportunities during that stretch, second worst in the league.

So when Utah captain Clayton Keller scored just seven seconds into the team’s first power play of the night, it was clear the offense was clicking early and was going to be a much different team on the power play.

While the battle for the puck ensued along the boards, Keller patiently waited, never moving from the spot where he lined up for the faceoff.

When Utah’s Nick Schmaltz corralled the puck after teammate Dylan Guenther jarred it loose behind the net, Keller’s patience was rewarded. He took a pass from Barrett Hayton with no Winnipeg players anywhere near him.

Skating into open ice, Keller buried just Utah’s second power play goal in its last 10 games

“Maybe the power play had been struggling a little bit but I think that’s how you get better,” said Keller. “When you struggle, you learn from it, you watch the video, you break it down a little bit more, and you simplify. We just had an attack mindset tonight. We finished when we had the opportunities and we worked away from the puck. That’s a key for us.”

Considering Utah had been converting at a 23.4% clip, 13th-best in the league, before its recent 10-game slide, Keller helping the team break through early on the power play gave Utah an early burst of momentum.

Not only did Keller’s goal spark the team, but it also marked his 500th career point.

“It’s cool. I honestly had no idea coming into the game, so I was a bit surprised,” said Keller. “Lots of hard work and sacrifice. So many people in my life sacrificed for me to get to this level so I’m just super thankful for everything that they’ve done for me, my teammates, and my coaches. There are so many people that have helped me get to where I am. I still feel like I have a lot more to give, and I’m just getting started.”

It wasn’t just Keller who reached an important milestone in his career.

Utah’s Barrett Hayton also matched his career highs in goals, assists, and points after assisting on Keller’s goal and later adding another power play tally for Utah.

The goal came in typical Hayton fashion: right in front of the blue paint, close to the net.

With Hayton’s tally, Utah finished the night with a 66.6% success rate on the power play, converting on 2-of-3 opportunities, a far cry from its 8.0% power play percentage over the previous 10-game stretch.

And to make it all the sweeter, that power play success came against the league-best Winnipeg Jets and arguably the best goalie in the league, Connor Hellebuyck.

“I like the fact that we’re not scared. We’re taking it the right way: ‘OK, let’s get at it,’” said coach André Tourigny. “We want that and we believe in ourselves… We beat Winnipeg twice this year; how we played against Dallas, how we played against L.A., how we played against Colorado. All those games were hard-fought games. I think that showed the character of our team and the leadership of our team. That’s why we love our team.”

Along with Keller and Hayton, Utah also got goals from Kevin Stenlund, who capitalized on a wide-open lane during a Winnipeg line change, and Nick Bjugstad, who sealed the win with an empty-netter.

“It shows how good of a team we are when we play the right way, play our way,” said Stenlund. “It was a good game.”

While Utah’s offense consistently generated quality scoring chances, with plenty of dekes to give the team longer offensive possessions, a more aggressive Jets team eventually would score with a Mark Scheifele power play goal to cut the lead to 3–1.

Winnipeg’s offensive push resulted in more shots on goal than Utah by the end of the game, and the Scheifele goal, but Utah’s defense held strong and wouldn’t allow any more goals.

Utah consistently forced turnovers, relied on Karel Vejmelka’s 32-save performance, and came up with crucial shot blocks and steals during Winnipeg’s man advantages, stopping what could have easily been goals for the Jets.

Plus, Utah continued to play like the top-10 penalty kill team it is, allowing just one goal on four Winnipeg power plays.

The win over Winnipeg keeps Utah in the playoff race, now just seven points behind a struggling Minnesota Wild team

“They don’t want to hear anything. They just want to play, and play good,” said Tourigny. “They are locked in. They’re straight on in what we have to do and play and win games. That’s it. They’re the easiest team to coach in the league right now. They’re tuned in, they’re locked in. We just need to lead a plan and they’re tuned in. They’re great.”

With only five games left in the regular season, Utah will need to win out and hope for a continued collapse from Minnesota if it wants a trip to the postseason.

Utah’s next game will be against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday, April 8.

The Winnipeg Jets may be the best team in hockey at the moment, but the Utah Hockey Club doesn’t care. They pulled off the upset on Saturday night with a 4-1 win on home ice.

Utah played a near-perfect game. The struggling power play struck twice, the captain scored his 500th point, Kevin Stenlund tallied two points against his former team, Barrett Hayton matched his career high in goals and Karel Vejmelka, yet again, played a solid game.

“We played against a really good team and it was a hell of a game,” said head coach André Tourigny. I’m really proud of the guys.”

Utah’s playoff hopes are still alive, though slim. Their fate rests partially on the success or failure of their competitors, but they’re doing all they can to stay in it.

“They’re the easiest team to coach in the league right now,” Tourigny said. “They’re tuned in. They’re locked in.”

Utah Hockey for dummies

When the season began, there were a lot of fans who identified as “hockey dummies.” But as the year has progressed, I’ve been delighted to see hockey intelligence rise in this state.

That intelligence was on full display at the Delta Center on Saturday.

See, in the early part of the season, the officials took way more booing than they deserved — clear penalties called against Utah, clean hits on UHC players, offside and icing calls — anything that didn’t favor the home team. On Saturday, every fan reaction was on point.

For example, with about 14:25 left in the third period against the Jets, the referees missed what I would call a clear holding penalty on Michael Kesselring. I’ve often felt like the only person that noticed missed calls, but this time there was a 16,000-person choir booing in agreement with me.

It was at that point that I realized it had been weeks — maybe months — since I last heard an unjust boo. And it’s still as loud as ever inside the arena.

When asked about the fans’ engagement after the game, Tourigny responded with a question:

“Do you like it?” he asked.

“Yeah,” we responded.

“Imagine us. We’re jacked. That’s great.”

Utah Hockey for casual fans

As mentioned, Clayton Keller’s pair of points on Saturday elevated him to 500 career points.

“He’s getting better every day,” Tourigny said of the captain. “The way he showed up today and the way he fought against a heavy team like Winnipeg, it doesn’t bother him at all.”

But it’s not just on the ice that Keller has improved.

“Where I’m most proud of him is as a human being,” Tourigny said. “The way he’s matured. The teammate he’s become. He’s always been a good teammate, but now he’s captain. He’s great. The way he can take the good and the bad and make the best out of it, learn from his mistakes.”

Keller said that, going into the game, he had no idea he was approaching that milestone. “I was a bit surprised,” he said.

He took the opportunity to direct the spotlight upon the people who have helped him along the way.

“So many people in my life sacrificed for me to get to this level, so (I’m) just super thankful for everything that they’ve done for me,” he said. “My teammates, coaches, there’s so many people that have helped me get to where I’m at.”

As neat as it is to hit such a big milestone, Keller also emphasized that he’s not done yet. After all, he’s still only 26 years old.

Utah Hockey for nerds

The month of March was filled with articles critiquing Utah’s power play. At a success rate of 13.2%, it was the sixth-worst in the league, despite being the 10th best before that.

That seems to be reverting back to the way it was.

They ended Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings with a last-minute power play goal. Then, on Saturday, they put two of them past Connor Hellebuyck.

Those two goals were the difference in this game, as it was 3-1 until the Jets pulled their goalie.

“We, maybe, emphasized it more in practice, video, watched clips that made us successful,” Keller said of the changes the group made. “(Assistant coach Blaine Forsythe) does a great job of breaking it down — breaking down teams in zones, their forechecks, things like that.”

The other change to the power play was putting Barrett Hayton back on the first unit. He filled that spot while Logan Cooley was injured, scoring a hat trick in the process. Cooley retook his place a few games after returning, but for whatever reason it just didn’t click.

If they can keep firing on all cylinders with the man advantage, they might be able to keep that sliver of playoff hope alive a little longer.

What’s next?

Utah’s penultimate home game of the season comes Tuesday as they host the Seattle Kraken.

The Kraken have already been eliminated from playoff contention, but don’t take that as a sign that it will be an easy game for UHC. NHL teams tend not to tank, even when they have no chance of making the playoffs.

Utah has lost both games they’ve played against Seattle this year. They’ll look to make up for it here.

The game begins at 7 p.m. MDT and will be broadcast on Utah HC+ and Utah 16.

History is ready to be had for Utah gymnastics. A familiar kind of history but significant history nonetheless.

After tying with Denver for first place in the Salt Lake City Regional semifinals Thursday night, the Red Rocks will compete in the regional final Saturday night at 5 p.m. in the Huntsman Center.

Finish in the top two in that meet, a four-team affair that includes No. 5 UCLA, No. 12 Minnesota and Denver, and Utah will advance to nationals for a record 49th time, keeping alive its streak of going to every nationals in women’s collegiate gymnastics history.

The Red Rocks, despite a somewhat rocky performance Thursday night, should still be considered one of the favorites to finish in the two on Saturday and advance. Ranked No. 4 in the country this season and competing at home, Utah has a lot going for it.

So does the competition, though, especially after Thursday’s semifinals.

Here are some things to know about the three teams that stand between Utah and continued history.

What to know about the UCLA Bruins

• Seed — No. 5
• National qualifying score — 197.680.
• Season-high score — 198.450.

Event NQS rankings and season averages

• Balance beam — No. 4 (49.535).
• Floor exercise — No. 1 (49.615).
• Uneven bars — No. 8 (49.425).
• Vault — No. 7 (49.305).

2025 All-Americans

• Jordan Chiles — First-team on vault, bars and floor; Second-team in the all-around.
• Chae Campbell — Second-team on vault and beam.
• Emma Malabuyo — First-team on beam.
• Brooklyn Moors — First-team on floor.
• Frida Esparza — First-team on bars.
• Ciena Alipio — Second-team on beam.

Scores in Thursday’s semifinals

• Overall score — 197.750.
• Bars — 49.3.
• Beam — 49.5.
• Floor — 49.5.
• Vault — 49.45.

The Bruins are the biggest threat, on paper, to upset the Red Rocks and are one of the favorites to advance to nationals. UCLA had the best score of any team in the semifinals of the Salt Lake City Regional and with a NCAA-leading six All-Americans this season the Bruins have plenty of proven talent.

Quotable

“I’m just really proud of the team and how they showed up. Today, we really wanted to be super-efficient with what we did, just locked in and dialed in and really be able to get through four events consistently, and they did exactly that. I couldn’t be more proud of them. I feel they’ve learned a lot this season, and they’ve really been in it together from start to finish, and that’s showing up in these really big moments for us.” — UCLA head coach Janelle McDonald after the Salt Lake City regional semifinals.

What to know about the Minnesota Golden Gophers?

• Seed — No. 12
• National qualifying score — 197.210.
• Season-high score — 197.425.

Event NQS rankings and season averages

• Balance beam — No. 16 (49.305).
• Floor exercise — No. 11 (49.430).
• Uneven bars — No. 16 (49.265).
• Vault — No. 12 (49.275).

2025 All-Americans

• Mya Hooten — Second-team on floor.

Scores in Thursday’s semifinals

• Overall score — 197.200.
• Bars — 49.375.
• Beam — 49.325.
• Floor — 49.350.
• Vault — 49.150.

The Golden Gophers are sold program and have been for years. Not one of the elite in the sport of women’s gymnastics but good enough to upset an elite team now and then. Minnesota shouldn’t upset either Utah or UCLA, but crazier things have happened. Mya Hooten is a star for Minnesota, particularly on floor where she has been one of the best at the NCAA level for years now.

Quotable

“This is a great accomplishment for the team. This day is always a little nerve-wracking because you want to move forward, but you gotta do your job. For us, we did the job and were very consistent. We hit all of our routines and I’m just really proud of the team. They looked calm, relaxed and really confident.” — Minnesota head coach Jenny Hansen after the Salt Lake City regional semifinals.

What to know about the Denver Pioneers?

• Seed — N/A
• National qualifying score — 196.735.
• Season-high score — 197.650

Event NQS rankings and season averages

• Balance beam — No. 21 (49.180).
• Floor exercise — No. 27 (49.225).
• Uneven bars — No. 10 (49.390).
• Vault — No. 13 (49.245).

2025 All-Americans

Scores in Thursday’s semifinals

• Overall score — 197.650.
• Bars — 49.4.
• Beam — 49.4.
• Floor — 49.35.
• Vault — 49.5.

The Pioneers have had a very up-and-down 2025 season, but turned things on at exactly the right time Thursday and upset No. 13 Stanford. Denver’s best two meets this season have come in the Huntsman Center on the campus of the University of Utah. The Pioneers have had a good amount of postseason success over the last five-plus years, but as an un-seeded team would likely need another season-best performance to upset either Utah or UCLA.

Quotable

“I’m so proud of the team. They were firing on all cylinders. They competed with freedom, stayed in the moment and had a focused, relaxed energy. It was a complete performance from start to finish. We’ve known we were capable of this and were just waiting for it to come together. We’re excited to advance to our sixth consecutive regional final on Saturday. Our fans and supporters were incredible. They were loud and brought energy and enthusiasm, just like they have all season long.” Denver head coach Melissa Kutcher-Rinehart after the Salt Lake City regional semifinals.

Catholic Community Services of Utah says it may be forced to close its refugee resettlement program next year after it suffered a significant loss of federal funding under President Donald Trump’s administration.

“Unless there is a significant shift in federal support or funding streams are restored (along with refugee admissions to the country), the program will close,” said Kearstin Fernandez, the organization’s communications director, in a Friday email to The Salt Lake Tribune.

She noted that, in the meantime, the program remains committed to serving its existing clients, but as of right now, “continuing the program beyond that point is not possible.”

The program currently supports 300 refugee families with things like housing, job searches and more as they work to become self-sufficient. But Aden Batar, the organization’s migration and refugee services director, said there is also concern about maintaining that support.

“We were hoping that the federal government will give us the funding to help these families that we already have here,” Batar said.

Instead, he said, they’ve already used most of their savings — just as other Catholic organizations throughout the country that help resettle refugees are facing similar predicaments.

“We’re a nonprofit organization,” he said. “We don’t have deep pockets.”

The fight for federal funding

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, an organization that secures federal funding and sends it to Catholic Community Services and similar organizations throughout the country, took the issue of its suspended funding to federal court in the District of Columbia in a Feb. 18 lawsuit.

They argue that although Trump suspended refugee admissions to the U.S. and federal aid through a series of executive orders, he didn’t specifically mention funds for refugees who had already been admitted to the country.

But, according to the lawsuit, the group received a letter from the U.S. Department of State on Jan. 24 that said its two already awarded cooperative agreements were suspended — pending review to see if they were in line with department priorities.

The suspended agreements central to the lawsuit amounted to about $65 million and were meant to run from Oct. 1, 2024, until Sep. 30, 2025.

The letter from The U.S. Department of State also indicated the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops could submit payment requests “for legitimate expenses” from before Jan. 24, but the lawsuit alleges the government wouldn’t reimburse the organization for $13 million it spent on resettlement services before Jan. 24 or the costs it had incurred since.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops asked the court to declare the refugee fund suspension unlawful and enjoin the federal government defendants to reimburse the organization for its incurred expenses.

The organization also asked the judge to require the government to pay its outstanding and future costs connected to its two agreements while the lawsuit is still being decided. Their request was denied.

On Feb. 26, two letters now included in court documents were sent to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops from The U.S. Department of State. They said the awards in question were terminated because they weren’t in line with the agency’s priorities.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops argued the termination was illegal, as Congress had approved those funds for refugee resettlement.

‘They are at risk of becoming homeless’

While the legal battle is being fought in the nation’s capital.

Batar said Catholic Community Services has already had to lay off 25 employees involved in refugee resettlement.

And, if things continue, he said they may need to “drastically cut more services.”

He explained the organization accepted the 300 refugee families it’s currently helping between Oct. 1 and Jan. 20, before the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ funding was suspended.

“They are at risk of becoming homeless,” Batar said of those who are depending on Catholic Community Services’ resettlement program.

If the needed funding doesn’t come in, they will have to make the difficult decision whether to cut off refugees before they are considered self-sufficient, he said.

Right now, his plea is to the community for critical funding.

“If we get private funding to continue our services, then we’re not going to rely on federal government,” he said.

The latest University of Utah basketball player who’s reportedly headed into the transfer portal was one who had a breakout season.

Multiple national reports late Friday, with the first coming from CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, indicated that Utah junior forward Ezra Ausar will test out his options by entering the portal.

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers expressed mixed reactions to President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariff plan announced earlier this week, which imposes a baseline 10% tax on all imports and higher rates for some countries.

The tariffs, released as part of Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day,” surprised many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, prompting some concerns about what it could mean for local economies that rely on trade with other countries. Meanwhile, others are willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt to see how it turns out — and whether it will really cause a “boom” in the U.S. economy like the president says it will.

The Deseret News contacted all six members of Utah’s congressional delegation in the House and Senate to get their thoughts on Trump’s tariff package. Here’s what they said:

Sen. Mike Lee

While initially expressing some hesitation toward tariffs of any kind, Sen. Mike Lee said he’s keeping an open mind about how Trump’s approach could possibly result in more free trade — arguing the system the U.S. currently utilizes is not equal in all circumstances.

“Some seem to be operating under the assumption that we currently have free trade. In many instances, we don’t,” Lee told the Deseret News.

Instead, Lee had other ideas on how he’d approach the topic of unequal tariffs: “If I were the leader of a foreign country with tariffs on the United States, I’d propose a free-trade agreement as soon as possible — one that truly gives us unfettered access to their markets, just as they want unfettered access to ours.”

Sen. John Curtis

Sen. John Curtis was similarly hesitant to the idea of sweeping tariffs on more than 100 global trade partners. While agreeing with Trump that he wants “better trade relationships,” Curtis warned of the unintended consequences that often result from tariffs.

“As a former business owner, I know tariffs are challenging — not just because of their impact, but because of the uncertainty they create,” Curtis said. “I’m also mindful of how new tariffs could drive inflation — something Utah families are already feeling.”

“My hope is that this move sparks meaningful negotiations that strengthen American enterprise, and my focus remains on policies that grow our economy, protect national security, and keep America competitive on the world stage,” he added.

Rep. Blake Moore

Rep. Blake Moore took a balanced approach to Trump’s tariff plan, recognizing that while tariffs “have the potential to do substantial good,” they can also lead to “downward economic pressure” that is hard on local businesses.

Moore lauded the Trump administration’s policies to crack down on Chinese forced labor and efforts to rebuild domestic manufacturing, but the Utah Republican also warned that a “blanket approach” to tariffs will create challenges for Utah businesses.

“I’ve always been supportive of targeted approaches toward strategic industries. President Trump’s first term demonstrated that when tariffs are wielded effectively, great economic outcomes can follow,” Moore said. “We saw this with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement — the strongest and most modern trade agreement in U.S. history. President Trump also implemented Section 301 tariffs — an effective, targeted measure that addressed strategic vulnerabilities in our supply chain with China.”

“Enacting a new tariff regime has been a major focus of President Trump’s second administration these last few months, and while I’m concerned, I’m not surprised by the market and public’s reactions to yesterday’s announcement,” he added.

Moore said he would work with the White House to “better understand these changes” and use his position on the House Ways and Means Committee to “get us to the sweet spot where our trade policies promote fairness while supporting American industries and keeping prices manageable for hardworking families.”

Rep. Celeste Maloy

Rep. Celeste Maloy was open to the idea of reciprocal tariffs imposed by the Trump administration with the goal of beginning negotiations to lower rates other countries have imposed on the U.S.

“For decades, our trade partners have imposed tariffs on us at higher rates, which has hurt our competitive edge,” Maloy said. “The American people voted for President Trump because he promised to upend the status quo. The idea behind reciprocal tariffs is to invite our trade partners to the bargaining table and correct the current trade imbalance.”

Rep. Mike Kennedy

Rep. Mike Kennedy echoed similar sentiments. Although he did not go so far as to fully endorse the tariff package, the Utah Republican told the Deseret News: “We need fair trade agreements that enable all parties to prosper and operate effectively.”

Rep. Burgess Owens

Rep. Burgess Owens did not immediately respond to requests for comment by the Deseret News. However, previous statements posted on social media indicate the Utah Republican may be in support of reciprocal tariffs — and he has previously praised Trump as an entrepreneur who understands these decisions.

“The Art of the Reciprocal Tariff,” Owens wrote in a post on X last month. “No more free access to American markets. If you tariff us, we will tariff you.”

“WOW!!! ‘Reciprocal Tariffs’ … a boom for America’s Middle Class,” he wrote in another post.

“No person shall be … deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law.” — Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States

The constitutional conservatives who lead Utah’s political class are strangely silent about the horrible abuse of basic constitutional rights that the Trump administration is perpetrating.

Utah’s members of Congress, its state officials, its legal scholars and law school professors, should be raising the roof to object to the way agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement have been snatching people off the street and deporting them, some to prisons in foreign nations, some back to nations they have no real connection with, without having to establish in court that those involved are the criminals or other threats the government claims they are.

(At least, we think these are ICE agents, as some of them are not uniformed or otherwise identified.)

The White House and right-wing media are claiming that people in the United States without authorization, or who are suspected of committing crimes or being members of violent gangs, are not entitled to the constitutional guarantee of due process. That the government is not obligated to appear in court and support, not just casually allege, those charges.

This is false. The Constitution’s guarantees of basic rights, including the right to due process, repeatedly and pointedly protect “persons.” Not citizens, legal residents, refugees or any other privileged class. Just, plain and simple, persons.

The persons who have been seized, or have had their student visas canceled, have been described as gang members on no evidence beyond that they have tattoos. Some who speak up for Palestinian rights have been wrongfully accused of being Hamas terrorists when they are doing no more than exercising the universal right of free speech and protest. Freedoms we preach about to other nations.

If the government can claim anyone is not entitled to due process, it can claim no one is entitled to due process. Law-abiding citizens, such as you, are just as vulnerable to being spirited away if the government isn’t obligated to prove that you are who they say you are.

Utah Sens. Mike Lee and John Curtis, Reps. Celeste Maloy, Burgess Owens, Blake Moore and Mike Kennedy should be on record objecting to these practices. Before it starts happening in our state.
