SALT LAKE CITY – Kirby Dach scored twice as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Utah Hockey Club 5-3 at Delta Center on Tuesday. Mike Matheson and Cole Caufield each had a goal and an assist for the Canadiens (21-18-4), who are 10-2-1 in their last 13 games. Lane Hutson had three assists, and Sam Montembeault made 22 saves.

The Utah Hockey Club’s season-long 7-game homestand is not going well. Utah lose for the third time in four games at the Delta Center, falling to the
