Lawson Crouse, Jack McBain, and Josh Doan have formed a compelling checking line for the Utah Hockey Club, offering significant energy and physicality despite their struggles earlier this season. Coach André Tourigny’s decision to unite them has led to a shift in their play style, emphasizing relentless forechecking and a commitment to retrieving the puck. Their motto, 'If you have the puck, we’re coming to get it back,' exemplifies their aggressive approach, resulting in impressive statistics: over 35% of the team’s hits and shots during their time on the ice in a recent game against the Detroit Red Wings.

This trio has been accountable not only for generating scoring chances but also for maintaining a solid defensive presence, showcasing their ability by achieving a top-four goal differential among forward combinations. Their collective effort has led to eight goals and 21 points across 20 games, contributing significantly to the team’s overall success as they embrace their roles on the ice.
