Ryan Smith told KSL Sports Zone 97.5 that Cooley hit five hat tricks faster than anyone ever. NHL.com says fastest active player: fifth hat trick, 228th game. Owners are allowed to round up. He also said the team isn't there yet. He's right. The penalty kill is 26th.

Montreal has been shorthanded 60 times in 15 games. Utah leads the NHL with 20 power-play goals, converting 36.4 percent. If the Canadiens can't stay out of the box tonight, we think that's the game. Our pick: Utah 3, Montreal 2. Tusks up.
