Philipp Kurashev and Chicago didn’t spoil the party in Salt Lake City. The Blackhawks lost 5-2 for the big premiere of the new Utah Hockey Club franchise in the NHL.
Trailing 3-0 at mid-match, Chicago regained hope with the successes of Nick Foligno and Teuvo Teravainen before conceding 4-2 in the empty cage 42” from the siren. Aligned for 17’55”, Kurashev recorded a record of -2 against an opponent whose majority of players came from the contingent of the defunct Arizona Coyotes.
The Bernese striker and his teammates will play 3 more times away, in Winnipeg, Edmonton and Calgary before their first home match next Thursday against San Jose. With such a difficult start, Chicago will very quickly be fixed on its level.

Florida starts well too
Earlier in the evening, Florida, the defending champion, got its season off to a perfect start. On their Sunrise ice, the Panthers won 6-4 over Boston thanks in particular to a double from Sam Bennett. The threat of Hurricane Milton had threatened the holding of this meeting.
