“Every team wants to get off to a good start,” Keller said. “This is the best competition in the world and you can’t take nights off. So it’s great to get the win and now we turn the page and focus on the next game.”

NOTES: Keller became the first captain to score in a franchise’s first game since Kelly Buchberger did so for the Atlanta Thrashers on October 2, 1999. … Utah became the eighth team in the NHL’s expansion era (since 1967-68) to win during the first match game. The others were the Oakland Seals, Los Angeles Kings, Buffalo Sabres, Calgary Flames, Lightning, Ottawa Senators and Vegas Golden Knights.
