Ingram (upper body) isn't close to returning to the lineup, according to Cole Bagley of KSL Sports on Monday.
Ingram will miss his seventh straight game when Utah hosts Dallas on Monday. He has a 6-4-3 record with a 3.61 GAA and an .871 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. Karel Vejmelka and Jaxson Stauber have performed well during Ingram's absence. Vejmelka and Ingram could compete for starts once the latter is ready to return.

Hockey Club's Karel Vejmelka: Starting against Dallas
Rotowire
Vejmelka will serve as the starting goaltender for Monday's home game against the Stars, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.
Vejmelka didn't appear in Saturday's win over the Golden Knights, but he'll start in net for the sixth time in the last seven games Monday. Over 12 appearances this season, he's logged a 3-6-1 record, 2.40 GAA and .917 save percentage.
Hockey Club's Liam O'Brien: No ice time in November
Rotowire
O'Brien was scratched for all 13 of Utah's games in November.
Barring injuries or the need for an enforcer in the lineup, it doesn't look like O'Brien will draw in often. He's the 13th forward for Utah, and he hasn't been able to unseat Michael Carcone or Kevin Stenlund for playing time. O'Brien can be a solid source of hits and PIMs when he plays. However, he offers virtually no scoring upside and has no fantasy appeal if he can't get into game action.

Hockey Club's Olli Maatta: Helpers in consecutive contests
Rotowire
Maatta notched an assist, six blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Maatta went from no points this season to earning a helper in consecutive contests. The 30-year-old defenseman is taking on heavy minutes for a Utah blue line decimated by injuries. Maatta has racked up 29 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 14 contests since being acquired by Utah from Detroit. He's not an impact player in fantasy since he rarely scores, but he's a key on-ice defensive presence.

Hockey Club's Michael Kesselring: Draws assist Saturday
Rotowire
Kesselring provided an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Kesselring has earned three helpers over his last five contests. The 24-year-old blueliner must pick up the slack, as fellow defenseman Maveric Lamoureux (upper body) will be out for 4-6 weeks. Kesselring's ability to stay healthy so far has been tremendously beneficial for Utah, as has his production -- he has 12 points, 42 shots on net, 33 hits, 21 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 24 appearances.

Hockey Club's Dylan Guenther: Posts power-play assist
Rotowire
Guenther notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Guenther helped out on Nick Schmaltz's second-period tally, which was the last goal in the game. The 21-year-old Guenther has amassed three goals and four helpers over his past five contests, and four of those seven points have come on the power play. The winger is up to 21 points (nine on the power play), 58 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 24 appearances. Guenther didn't earn a shot on goal for the third time this season in Saturday's win.

Hockey Club's Mikhail Sergachev: Reaches 10-assist mark
Rotowire
Sergachev notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Sergachev got on the scoresheet for the fourth time in the last five games with his helper on a Logan Cooley tally. The 26-year-old Sergachev continues to lead the way on defense for Utah. He's up to 16 points, 39 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 24 appearances. Sergachev could push for the 60-point mark this season as long as he stays healthy.

Hockey Club's Barrett Hayton: Provides pair of helpers
Rotowire
Hayton notched two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Hayton has been cold lately, but he's warming up with three assists over his last three games. He had gone seven contests without a point prior to that, and Saturday marked his first multi-point effort since Oct. 12. The center is at five goals, six helpers, 42 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 24 outings overall, often playing in a top-six role.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Nets first goal of campaign
Rotowire
Carcone scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Carcone has carved out a fourth-line role in November, playing in 11 straight contests. His goal was his first of the season, though he was overshadowed by top-line winger Nick Schmaltz, who lit the lamp for the first time in 2024-25. Carcone stunned the league with a 21-goal campaign in 2023-24, and that's unlikely to be repeated this season -- he's at three points, 28 shots on net, 10 hits, 19 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 14 appearances. He's not guaranteed to be in the lineup regularly, but he is seemingly ahead of Liam O'Brien on the depth chart.

Hockey Club's Alex Kerfoot: Racks up two points in blowout win
Rotowire
Kerfoot scored a shorthanded goal on two shots, dished an even-strength assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Kerfoot has scored in three of the last five games. The 30-year-old forward has earned at least one shorthanded point in five consecutive seasons. He's up to nine points, 37 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 24 contests this season. Kerfoot plays in all situations as one of the most versatile forwards on the Utah roster.

Hockey Club's Logan Cooley: Stays hot in win
Rotowire
Cooley scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Cooley has three goals and five helpers during his five-game point streak. The center potted Utah's fourth goal of the first period and set up Nick Schmaltz for a power-play tally in the middle frame. Cooley is already up to the 20-point mark over 24 appearances this season, including four power-play points. He's added 50 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-8 rating, showcasing a solid all-around game. He's got a lot of promise as a future face-of-the-franchise player.

Hockey Club's Clayton Keller: One of each Saturday
Rotowire
Keller scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Keller avoided going goalless for November, tallying the opening marker 5:33 into Saturday's game. Still, he has provided 10 assists in his last 13 outings to remain productive. The 26-year-old winger is up to seven goals, 22 points, 57 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across 24 appearances in a top-line role this season.

Hockey Club's Nick Schmaltz: Breaks through with two goals
Rotowire
Schmaltz scored twice on five shots in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Schmaltz is off the schneid, scoring his first two goals of 2024-25 in Saturday's blowout win. He tallied midway through the first period at even strength and added a power-play marker in the second. Schmaltz is up to 19 points, 54 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 24 appearances this season. He's seen steady top-six usage, and he should enjoy a strong course correction in scoring -- he's reached the 20-goal mark in three straight years while shooting no less than 13.9 percent in any season in that span.

Hockey Club's Jaxson Stauber: Earns first career shutout
Rotowire
Stauber posted a 29-save shutout in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Stauber earned his first career shutout and has won six of seven NHL appearances. He impressed in a short stint with the Blackhawks in 2022-23 but spent all of 2023-24 with AHL Rockford. Utah had been reluctant to give Stauber a start since Connor Ingram (upper body) landed on injured reserve, but it appears that cautious approach was misguided. Karel Vejmelka has seen a heavy workload recently, and Utah doesn't have another back-to-back until next weekend. It wouldn't be surprising if Stauber got to start Saturday versus the Sabres or Sunday against the Flyers if Ingram hasn't been cleared to return.

Hockey Club's Maveric Lamoureux: Moves to IR
Rotowire
Lamoureux (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Lamoureux was given a 4-6 week timeline for his recovery after being injured in Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens. He has accounted for three points, 18 hits, 42 PIM and 11 blocked shots over 15 appearances this season. Due to Lamoureux's absence, Juuso Valimaki has returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch for four straight games.

Hockey Club's Jaxson Stauber: Set to start Saturday
Rotowire
Stauber is expected to start on the road against Vegas on Saturday, per Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune.
Stauber will see his first NHL action since posting a 5-1-0 record, a 2.80 GAA and a .911 save percentage in six regular-season appearances with the Blackhawks in 2022-23. He's earned a 2.29 GAA and a .930 save percentage in seven outings with AHL Tucson this campaign. Connor Ingram is on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury, allowing Stauber to make his Utah debut in Saturday's contest.

Hockey Club's Maksymilian Szuber: Summoned from Tucson
Rotowire
Szuber was recalled from AHL Tucson on Saturday, Craig Morgan of ALLCITY Network reports.
Szuber made his NHL debut last season, logging 16:59 of ice time in a 5-0 loss to Seattle. The defenseman has a goal and four assists across 11 AHL games this season. Szuber will replace Maveric Lamoureux, who is out for 4-6 weeks with an upper-body injury, believed to be a separated shoulder.
