On Tuesday — fresh off signing an eight-year, $57.14 million contract extension with the Utah Hockey Club in September — Guenther scored the first goal in franchise history at the Delta Center. He added an empty-net tally to help seal the 5-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, Utah’s first-ever victory.

Utah Hockey Club never trailed after getting first-period goals from Dylan Guenther and Clayton Keller and held off a late rally to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-2 in the season opener for both teams.

Dylan Guenther, 21, who recently signed an eight-year contract extension, scored less than five minutes into Utah's season opener.
