Utah Hockey Club general manager Bill Armstrong said he studied the Tampa Bay Lightning’s model of trading for all of their championship-winning defensemen. Head coach André Tourigny said the Lightning’s excellence for years is a recipe his team needs to look at.

Offense was plentiful on Saturday for both teams at Delta Center during a 5 p.m. NHL contest that ended with the host Utah Hockey Club beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-4. Tampa Bay is now 40-24-5 this season and will close a back-to-back on Sunday when they visit the Vegas Golden Knights for an 8 p.m. game.
