4 months agoUtah Hockey Club defenseman Mikhail Sergachev tallied a power-play assist as the team was defeated by the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 on Sunday. He combined with Dylan Guenther to set up Logan Cooley for the opening goal late in the first period. Following his move from Tampa Bay, Sergachev has stepped into a bigger role on his new team, and Utah hasn't been disappointed. He has amassed 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 21 games, putting him tied with Carolina's Shayne Gostisbehere and Seattle's Brandon Montour for the most points among all defensemen on a new team this season. Sergachev has also racked up 36 blocks, with 34 shots fired on goal.
