SALT LAKE CITY -- It was easy to spot all the fans who were proudly wearing red and white at Delta Center on Monday night, and it was even easier to hear their cheers when the final horn sounded on the Detroit Red Wings’ 5-1 victory over the Utah Hockey Club.

The Red Wings' win in Utah wasn't pretty, but it pulled them back within 3 points of a playoff spot and showed some key developments.

The Red Wings had a hard time stopping the Golden Knights' Tomas Hertl, who had a hat trick Saturday night as Vegas knocked off Detroit 6-3. Jack Eichel had a goal and three assists while Nicolas Roy and Mark Stone also scored for Vegas, which got 28 saves from Adin Hill.
