Carlsson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 draft, then converted a pass from Troy Terry for the first goal of his second NHL season.

Robby Fabbri scored his first goal since joining the Ducks, and Terry got his second goal of the season. Lukas Dostal made 26 saves.

Keller and Barrett Hayton both scored their fourth goals in five games this season for Utah. Jack McBain and Michael Kesselring also scored.
