Barrett Hayton snapped home the go-ahead goal with 1:32 left to lift the Utah Hockey Club to a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks.

Barrett Hayton scored a late game-winning goal to give the host Utah Hockey Club a 2-1 comeback victory over the San Jose Sharks on Friday in Salt Lake City.

In December, the Sharks gave up the tying or winning goal in the final three minutes of the third period four times. It happened most recently against the Edmonton Oilers on Dec. 21, when the Sharks allowed a tying goal to Mattias Ekholm with 18 seconds left in regulation before losing 3-2 in overtime.

The Sharks are averaging 2.60 goals per game so far this season, an improvement over the 2.20 goals they averaged through 82 games last season. Nevertheless, the Sharks and general manager Mike Grier figure to have tens of millions in salary cap space this offseason to try and make upgrades at various positions.

After sustaining a lower body injury, Guenther will be out for the foreseeable future. Currently, there is no timeline for his return.
