Hockey Club's Alex Kerfoot: Registers helper Saturday
Rotowire
Kerfoot logged an assist in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Rangers.
Kerfoot has two helpers, five shots on net and a plus-3 rating over the first three games of the season. The 30-year-old forward continues to be a Swiss Army knife for Utah, often playing in a middle-six role but more than capable of moving around the lineup through in-game adjustments. In a similar role in 2023-24, he produced 13 goals, 45 points and a career-high 76 blocked shots. His offense is likely to be more limited this year since he isn't receiving much power-play time.
