Although Utah is three days away from its first playoff game in franchise history, today is about focusing on tonight\u2019s game and the St. Louis Blues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The main thing is just not looking anywhere but tonight,\u201d Alexander Kerfoot explained. \u201cWe have one game left, and we want to be feeling really good going into the playoffs. We want our game to be in a good spot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tourigny discussed some of the challenges the Blues bring and what his team needs to do in response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSt. Louis is a team who\u2019s improved a lot offensively since the break,\u201d Tourigny shared. \u201cTheir first line \u2026 are one, two, and three forwards in the league in plus\/minus since the break. As well, their (defensemen) are super active either off the rush, and in the o-zone play. So, it will be important the way we cover those, we\u2019re above them, and we cover their activation in the o-zone. It\u2019ll be a good challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fan Appreciation Night<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Fan Appreciation Night at the Delta Center and there\u2019s plenty going on throughout the night and following the game. Kerfoot reflected on the impact the fans have had for the Mammoth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been awesome,\u201d Kerfoot said. \u201cPretty excited from day one, since we got here, for the fan base to develop into what it\u2019s become in such a short amount of time ,speaks volumes of the community, the city, the people that are coming to our games, and it makes it a lot more fun to play games at home, knowing how loud and into it our fans can get.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MORNING SKATE NOTES Head coach Andr\u00e9 Tourigny said there will be game time decisions tonight.
