What happened: The goal came at 08:49 of the first period on the power play, with assists to MacKenzie Weegar and Tij Iginla. Merrifield spoke with Coach Bear after the score.

Why it matters: The early special-teams exchange left Utah ahead 2-1 after a Clarke power-play answer for Los Angeles. Preseason power-play production factors into opening-night role decisions for the upcoming 2025-26 season.

By the numbers: But: 1 power-play goal at 08:49, 1st period; 0.20 xG; assists Weegar, Iginla; score at time 1-0.

What to watch: Utah continues preseason action with evaluation of power-play units through the final exhibitions.
